Default Chirping the tires

Hi:
I was just wondering, Everytime i accel hard i end up chirping the tires through 2nd and 3rd, does anyone know what im doing wrong if anything and will this hurt my drivetrain. I know its rougher on the clutch but slipping the clutch a little more for the accel would wear it more, wouldnt it?

Just let your clutch out a little more slowly. Chirping on every shift is probably not the greatest thing for your car.

Try letting off the throttle between shifts a little more. Just enough to stop the chirping. Chirping is hard on the drive train. Your right about slipping the clutch a little more, it would reduce the chirping but would wear the clutch more.

When I go to the track I always chrip my tires between first and second. After that it should not chirp. I agree maybe you should let off of the throttle a little bit more when you are changing gears.
