I have been driving automatic the whole time I've been driving until recently. My first straight is a camaro 6 speed. I can drive it just fine, but just haven't gotten to the point where I can take off faster. I usually just have to let the clutch out and the strength of the motor and clutch lets me take off slowly but I'm needing to know the technique so I can go to the drag stip after enough practice.

At the strip. once you've staged, bring up the rpms of the engine and hold it there 3K rpm. If you are using the standard tree, wait until you see the last yellow light come on, as soon as you see the light, let off the clutch fairly fast and then floor it. Your reaction time will be sompensated for when you take off on the last yellow light. The car will start moving just as the light turns green.
If you are using the pro tree, then when you see the yellow lights come on, then go for it. Don't wait to see green before you take off. Good racing.

Ok...so you're willing to mistreat your car, right? OK..you've gotta use heel and toe driving to do this.
You have your left foot on the clutch, your right toes on the gas, and your right heel on the brake. You're holding the car on the line with your heel, applying gas with your toes, and letting out SOME of the clutch till you feel the loading of the drive train. (Feels good, doesn't it ?) Hold it steady until the green light shows, pop the clutch the rest of the way, and jam the throttle.
Now....how much is SOME of the clutch? That's what you've got to practice. And it's hard on the clutch every time you do it. But heck....it's fun.
Good luck, dude.

You buy a bunch of extra clutches and rear tires, and start putting more and more power to it as you release the clutch, until you're spinning the wheels. You just need to get the feel of the rear wheels when you take off. Spin em too much and you don't accelerate well and risk losing the rear end. It just takes experience to find the sweet spot, and balls to hold the hammer down when you pass 130mph.

i think of you're able to be able to desire to apply your ordinary experience right here. you're able to desire to "not" be in a race motor vehicle going at intense speeds, once you're pregnant. you do not choose to danger the protection of your self or the child. specific you're purely 21 weeks pregnant, yet what if the motor vehicle you're in is in contact in an coincidence on the raceway? you're able to be able to desire to apply precaution once you're pregnant. not something is worse than having a controversy consisting of your being pregnant via you being interior the vehicle. do not take of project with the babies lifestyles. I especially propose you do not take part in that pastime.

Practice, practice,practice.Start out about 2500 rpm and what you want is as much rpm as you can without tire spin.
