Best launch technique?
Discussion
I just rolled off the line in first gave it a bit of stick but not much and got into 2nd as quick as could.
Personally with the exception of one launches when lined up against Jez I didnt get any wheelspin at all, unfortunately against Jez I did and the traction kicked in cutting the power so Jez won, bloody traction control lol

Hah, only 2000. Get a stall.I thought we are doing a 1/4 as well (included in the mile)? Well it was last time.

Do they time the first 64 feet at TR as well?

So that's why you looked like you were going backwards

Nothing to do with the disparate power factors then.
Well could have done with a few more ponies but I wouldn't say I was desperate

The faster you accelerate, the less time you have to build speed....odly
I decided on a max speed rather than a fastest time event specifically so there is no reason to launch hard.
We are still doing a best quarter though Gareth
Interesting info Jez I decided on a max speed rather than a fastest time event specifically so there is no reason to launch hard.

How does that work and what would you say needs to be done by the likes of me to get a better top speed??? Is there any info on a link you could give me, if you have one Pretty please Bonnie and Clyde said:

Is there any info on a link you could give me, if you have one Pretty please Short shift the first couple of gears and use the torque from 3rd to pull the car up. Its a fine line between, do I change up to 6th or hold 5th at the line as well.
Very little you can do TBO...its a true test of power rules
(And gearing)
