There was a good write up on it online, I cna't find it though. If Dr. Speed Lab runs across this post, he'll proabbly post it.

Practice, practive, practice, then more practice.

practice in the rain. i watched this thing on the making of biker boyz (yea yea) but the guy they were emulating said he practiced in the rain. so i went out, and practiced in the rain. my launches are insane now. i'm revving up around 7-9, and just come off real nice. i don't smell clutch or nothin'.
but that's me. i'm not scared of a little slide every now and then in the rain either.

I always found on stock height and length that it was best for me to just dump it at bout 4 grand. It was low enough not to flip over, but enough not to stall. Sometimes it will come up, but not so fast that you can't control it. I just never liked rpms and slipping the clutch. Just practice and try different ways until you find out what suits you the best.

REDLINE IT AND DUMP THE CLUTCH.

ITS NOT WHAT I WOULD DO BUT I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH YOU DO IT FOR A LAUGH
