I swear, one of these days I will figure out how to communicate with your odd slighted logic. You're a puzzle, but I'll figure it out. lol

What's so odd? I just said not all driving is the same. There are different elements to each type of racing/driving that are more important than others. You can at least agree with that, right?

Yes, I agree with that much.


The difference is launching your car on street tires at the track really isn't any different than launching it on the street. It still requires finesse in both locations. With regular radials on a prepped surface at the track doesn't do anything other than tear up the track for cars with proper drag radials and slicks.

Yeah, I rarely launch my car on the street as is. I've done it a few times, but with the sole purpose of spinning the tires just for the hell of it. Just haven't really worked on feathering the clutch and throttle, because I've never really found a place to do so safely.

Go out late one night and practice off every green light... if u can get across the intersection and be on the floor with no tire spin, you will be able to do it at the track... tracks are sticky, streets arent...

Only reason I don't do this is because clutchs are expensive and I want mine to last as long as possible lol. But I'm also excited about getting a lightweight one. I'm rather torn if i wanna beat this one up fast and just pay for a lightweight one or baby it.

To add to that, also learning how to "squeeze" the throttle rather than stabbing it will help too.
