I was having a hell of a time launching and I might do what was suggested above by starting at idle. At least until I get a better feel for launching. I also missed 4th a couple times which explains my awful trap.
On a side not, my buddy ran 10.6 followed by a 10.7 in his supra. He was told he's never allowed back to that track since he has no safety equipment

I'm getting drag radials on stock 300ZX rims for next season. Hopefully that will get me at least another tenth.
