ouch...lol. the way i did it in my car was like around 2 grand maybe a little more, then dump the clutch. maybe you should try more than that tho cause your car might bog when dumping the clutch at that RPM without a whole lot of power. just practice it and see what works best. thats what i finally did.

every track and car will be different play with the rpm's and slip the clutch until you get the best times

and dumping the clutch will slow you down, and break parts it's too big a shock to the drive line.Basically you rev the engine get the clutch to the edge of where it holds (that's really fun to hold it there)on last yellow ease the clutch up and gas down

wouldnt gassing down while easing up on the clutch burn the clutch out? or is it unavoidable?

hold down the brake, rev up to right before where your tires would start spinning, then when the lights drop, off the break and all on the gas or get a stall
