preloading is just slipping the clutch so that the tranny is alread absorbing power and not jus dumping the power on the drivtrain

so in other words slip that bitch

ooooo im feeling ya, so slip the clutch instead of poppin it, what about with drag radials or drags???? drag radials u should be able to slip, just start the rev higher then usual so they get some spin???

its slightly slipping the clutch, but holding the car back with the ebrake/staging brake so that it is trying to go forward but not moving. next time search, it was covered less than a week ago
