Default Feather the clutch?

What EXACTLY does this mean....I'm kinda new to the racing scene so dont be too hard on me....

And when you guys are at the track and youre going time only, do you even worry about your reaction time, do you sit there for a second and a half or something to get your composure up or what??

Thanks.

Dont worry about RT unless your in COMP. Feathering the clutch means to ride it out of the hole (60ft). This will allow you to not spin the tires as much. Unless you have a 170hp or more (just estimating) dont worry about feathering the clutch your cars not going to spin that bad when you need to, just drop the clutch

so you keep the clutch depressed through the 60 foot time?!?! wouldnt that just blow your time all the hell?? I plan on having more than 170 hp with me swap, so.....

do you need to worry about doing this if you have slicks or what?
