Claymore, yes i know we have had this discussion before. I do see the points you are makeing and i do see that they have merit. However you would also know that some people are more serious about drag raceing the others.
eg
* Some may just like to race to beat their own personal best times. In which case it is irellevant about launching Right on green.
* While others are more serious and focused on Dial-in-time raceing, where IMO its more about driving skill and power delivery and your launches.
Some people see winning as beating their apponent and others see it as beating their PB (personal best)
As this thred is titled
"First Time 1/4 Mile with a Turbo Charged D-series Hints"
IMO thats my best advice for luke as a first timer, and should he want to get more serious with it later on he may want to change his drag raceing goals.
Also on a further note, im not sure about what would be the best in theory behind launching Turbo cars. But all i can say in my experience is that agressively revving the car right before launch made my car actually leave the line more "on boost", compared to holding the revs at a high steady level and then just dropping the clutch. And yes i have tried both. But as i said only on my experience.
