Video of clutch pedal while launching

I found a lot of videos of Evos launching but none of them are from the inside of the car looking at the clutch. You cant learn how to launch by looking at a car launch from the outside. You can get an idea but you dont know whats going on on the inside. I know its probably to hard to film but I was wondering if anyone has a video looking at the pedals while launching. I want to see how fast the clutch is let out. I also want to see if its let out at the same speed or slow then fast.

I saw a video from Japan on streetfire or youtube with camera angles on the driver/shifter, one on the pedals, another on the tach and one on the the roof....launching....sick....I couldn't understand a word they were saying but I could see how the process worked. In other words, a quadruple split screen all synced demonstrating a sick *** launch.

I'll try to find it....might be tough.

The Best Motoring videos always have a view of the feet. I love that. Those guys double clutch like nobody's business, but is that really necessary in a car with double and triple synchros?

I will be working on setting up a camera low to see the clutch/gas pedal.
