Try and find a place where you can practice your launches. You want to find the highest RPM you can launch at with out excessive wheelspin.

My friend did that exact same thing!!! You had the right idea, but after you dump the clutch and the wheels start to spin, dont let it hit redline, let the gas out a little and keep it at around 5k until it hooks up good, then floor it.

That will usually get good launches.
