Drag Radial noobie...need advice
Gentlemen (and ladies as appropriate),
I will be dragging my car in the next few weeks for the first time on drag radials ever. I would like to know the proper technique for launching... Assuming I have done the proper heat up procedure in the wet box, do I go to the line, hold 5500 (new si has a limitor at 5500) then dump the clutch/slip the clutch/?!?!
It just scares me to think of dumping the clutch at 5500 and hanging on, but I also do not want to bow out of the 2nd race because I have no clutch from slipping it on the first run... You guys have done it before, and I would like to know what you think.... Stock transmission, lsd, stock axles. Thoughts?
thank you in advance!
