riceboy Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Just wondered what launch technics people use on the 1/4 mile so i can have a bit of practice before the 10th. Link to comment
tony_cousins Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hee Hee rev to 4000rpm clutch down then lift off lol Link to comment
granby Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The first time i went up the 1/4 mile i revved it to 5000rpm and dropped the clutch and even then the engine bogged down, so the next run i went in the other lane and done the same and this time it took off, this time i'm gonna try a granny start to see how it goes.

Pele Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Go and find a nice straight quiet road the night before & practice After that, just imagine you're at traffic lights next to one of the local boy racers & you should be fine... I you can't find a nice quiet road, come along to the one I found Link to comment
