a) Firrst

1) I always start out in first. I wasn't aware that second was an option.
2) The rev's depend on your car, tires, track conditions, ets. There's no substitute for experience. Go down the track, let your car cool off, go down the track again, again, again, again,again,again, and again.............:biglaugh:

Good luck. Try proof reading your next thread or posts.....................lol

:biglaugh: Ja!, sorry for my spelling, my English is not so good:aigo: ,But no problem if some one really want to help:biglaugh:

Actually, I have the stock wheels, and some guy told me that may be is better if I run the first gear in second, but when I was ready for that test I one freeze plug go out of the engine.:aigo:

And now my car is with the mechanic.

i have never heard of anyone blowing out a freeze plug.

but yeah, the best advice i can tell you is just practice launch techniques. try to drive the clutch as if you were sitting on a hill. its all about that 60', whether its 1/8mi or 1/4mi.
