Default how to launch good?

I was just wondering how to launch good off the line without getting wheel hop. its crazy everytime. i had wheel hop so bad that the cd player came out and knocked me out of first gear. i have the tire pressure set to what it is supposed to be on the door jam and i try to feather the clutch but still does. i race at island dragway is that a shitty place or what. so what should i do?

search for "wheel hop" in the ITR forum, or all forums in general. Thats the first thing I would do and Im sure you will get quite a few posts about it and how to go about fixing it.

Your subject line reminds me of Zoolander...

Leave him alone, you were a newb once too .

Just search guy! It takes time sometimes but all you need is in this forum's history...
I learned how to when I got burned by some elitist ITR owner. Flux's line reminds me of Austin Powers 2 H-T newb abuse: "It's a visious cycle"
