I'm considering doing some drag racing--just a little bit--at an event held by one of the local clubs, here in Mass... The thing is, I've done a ton of drag runs in a Mustang, but never in my Camaro.

There's got to be a trick to launching with street tires, without breaking the rear-end or smoking the clutch...right? Anyone care to eleborate? I figure bump the konis to soft (I have SAs) and that's about all I can do. I have a T2R if that even matters and I'll be on street tires--Azenis 615s.

It's fun to mix it up once in a while, ain't it? I'm curious what I can make this car do. It's basically stock an air lid and a catback are the only power type mods.

So you bring it to a certain RPM and feather the clutch a bit, then WOT when you feel it hook? That's the way I used to launch my old Mustang. I wasn't all that great at it... Get it up to 3,000RPM, feather it, feel it hook and then you're off. The deal was not to bog it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
