Wow 88mph trap. That must be some serious double clutching.
Practice always helps but for a price.
since when is double clutching an effective racing technique?

double clutching and racing dont go together

Edited, I was being to mean. But I must say that I am a little disappointed that you started a thread asking for tips on how to launch and where to shift and you didn't use any of the tips at the drag strip. Maybe next time you'll listen.

This is _exactly_ why I told you not to bother going, but you didn't listen. I told you that it would be worthless if you weren't going to do a full launch, weren't going to shift hard, and weren't going to be able to get into gear due to a messed up 3rd gear. Next time, maybe you'll listen...

Im with him, can cut .6 off your time with just a decent launch. Its hard not to get atleast a 1.7 60' in an awd car.
