When do you launch? Do you leave when the last yellow is lit or do you
wait until the green is lit? If you were using the "OTHER" tree, try and

What do you launch at, RPM wise? idle? what?
I dropped the clutch at about 2800 rpm( give or take), but I had trouble
getting the right amount of traction off the line and came close to
stalling it a few times because of it.

How do you prep the car for the race? (or do you just run what you

I basically run the car as is, what should I do to race prep it?
