[QUOTE="Paul, post: 183135, member: 9404"] Drive around the water. Pop the clutch a bit and roll the tires over a couple times to clean the crap off of them. Stage the car and stop as soon as you see the second yellow light up. This will give you a couple inches before you break the beams and the clock starts. You could even "shallow stage" (first bulb only) if the track permits. Rev to 2600 rpms, let the clutch quickly with your foot (don't let it "snap" up), and roll the throttle down simultaneously. Do this as the last yellow light comes on. Adjust RPM according to your 60' time and see what works best. I've done 2.01 on normal tires with my very lightly modded 95 GT, and I think with a very good launch, you could potentially better than that. If your transmission is not your friend, feel free to keep the throttle matted and WOT powershift through 2nd and 3rd. Do this over and over and over again. Don't worry about letting the car cool down, just get as many runs in as you can, and practice, practice, practice. All you really need to worry about at first is learning the launch. Paul. [/QUOTE]
