I bet you would kick my ****, don't worry about it.

I might take mine to the drag strip in Vegas on Feb 5th, my grandpa is running his electric drag car that day.

It's another way for saying riding the clutch and not letting it out too fast or too slow while holding the rpm up on your launch. Practice letting the clutch out at a rate that isn't too fast maintaining a high rpm around 3-4k. Try to prevent yourself from lightining the tires up. Find a rate you can come off the clutch fast enough without breaking traction. The key is to connect as fast as you can at 3-4k, when your fully off the clutch being at full throttle maintaining traction. Your RPM is to never drop below 3k or you will bloggle out on the launch. That's how you lower your times and of course shift as fast as you can. Good Luck!
