Takeoff techique
Takeoff techique
I recently went to the track and pulled was pulling consistent 2.5x 60 ft times. Is there anything wrong with my launch? I just go around the water, rev to about 1700rpm and floor it and drop the clutch off the line. I spin the tires for about 50 ft. then catch. If I launch at any lower rpm I spin for about 10-20 ft, catch and then the engine bogs for even worse 60ft times.
R/T .283
60' 2.420
1/8 9.943
MPH 73.53
1/4 15.218
MPH 94.20
BTW this is all in Denver CO at 5880 ft above sea level

I couldn't spin mine at 1700 if my life depended on it. Sounds like you need stickier tires.
After you've driven around the water do a clean up burn out. This gets any crap you've picked up off the tires before you stage and will get a little heat in them.

Quick spin of the tires to make sure there is no debris. Avoid shiny spots on the launch surface. Adjust your launch rpms to catch at the point where you don't bog and you don't spin. Do a quick release of the clutch (not a dump), and practice. Try around 22 pounds of air in the rear tires and around 40 pounds in the fronts. Adjust as necessary.
If you don't hook, make one change. Keep at it until you hook.
