Alright I know every car is different when learning to launch, but I am having some problems with my car at the track.

On the street I launch at about 2k and just drop the clutch and i get a very good launch.

At the track I have been having some problems. My best 60ft time was 2.54 and I spun really really hard tonight. I never launched above 2.5k rpms and it still spun really hard. I can get my car thru the 60ft any faster cause of the spin.

Can anyone help me at all?

by the way this is on street tires, on stock wheels, with an JDM h22 in a 95 Accord

 

lower your tire pressure and feather it out of the hole.

and oh yea...slicks

 

do you floor it right after you launch? cuz if i do that i'll spin from an idle....i launch my prelude @ 4,000.....pop the clutch it'll spin to about 6k then it'll grab like a second after and i punch it....seems to work well for me....but then again i got azenis which were a night and day difference compared to my deltas :thumdown:

 

Feather your clutch, dont drop it.

 

if you are at the track stay the hell out of the water. i don't know how many times i've seen people do a burnout in the water on street tires. Don't do it, just a quick spin right before you line up will do the trick...just to clean them off. feather at 4-5k depends on how much u hate your clutch.

my local track has always hooked like a **** for me. I come of the line on spray and don't even spin...then again i hear Huntsville is one of the best hooking tracks in the south. either way that method should work for you.

That's how I launch, usually from 3.5k - 4K. I get 2.1 60' times on street tires that way, spinning all the way through 1st (I keep the revs just barely above where the tires will catch), then try to get traction as quickly as possible in 2nd.

 

Bounce off rev limiter and dump clutch. That's drag racing right, it's easy. Seriously though put a couple hundred bucks down on some BFG drag radials.

 

alright i have read everyones opinions and im goin back to the track today, hopefully i can figure it out

 

drop your tire pressure, it helps alot on the 60'. I run at around 20 psi or so.

 

I dunno but I just got some BFG g-Force Sports and they helped alot. I know the g-Force KDW's on my SRT-4 are amazing!!
