All in the launch imo.

If you can't launch for shit then your time will be shit.

Also dont panic!

LOL.

First run ever. Tried to copy the fully sick pro burnouts. Swaying the front side to side with e brake up. (really wasnt that hard) But with torque steer, if you dont hold the steering wheel it pulls the steering wheel to one side.

Silly me. My heart beating. People watching. Dude gives the signal for a burnout.

Spun the wheels. And my hand let go of the wheel. Car veers to the left and nearly hits the middle island thing where it seperates the 2 lanes. and there i am. All shaken with my foot still on the pedal, clutched in. Rev bouncing. And people lookin at me like .. wtf? LOL

So with shame. I staged up.
Rainbow lights go to green. Launched. Bogged and went.
Shifted 2nd. Crunched. -.-"


Lesson learnt. Hold the steering wheel really tight or use 2 hands.

Oh and i ran stockies 15" so the tyre pressure applies =D



And might i add another thing lol -.-"
Reason i bogged on launch. For the first timers. Its not pavement there. Probably is under 3inches of rubber. (exxageration).
But it really grips compared to tarmac where the wheels spin freely.
4grand rev dump 3/4 clutch engagement n it bogged.


And yes. Its all about the launch. =]
