what do you do just hold it up and when you start to release the clutch where its starting to grab let the E-Brake go?

I might make a quick video guide of how to launch using the e-brake or hand brake. It's simple really. Just takes a bit to get used to, your 1st time you will be confused and mess up, but after awhile you get used to it and it comes 2nd nature.

Basically what you do is bring the car up to the pre-stage, pull the ebrake up and let the clutch out till you barely feel it grab, use the e-brake to move into the full stage beam leaving the clutch pedal where it's at (that friction point where the clutch is slightly engaging) Bring the car on the 2step, then when your ready to go, let go of the e-brake and the car will start to move, once you feel it move, let the clutch out and away you go.

If you ever hear the term preloading thats what evodude is explaining to you. Most if not all of the fast guys that don't break much do it.

thanks. yea i think it has it too. i think if it does it it will be a 9.999 pass. and i am ok with that. i do not NO LIFT SHIFT so that probably will hold me back some as well. last time i did NLTS i blew apart my trans in 4th gear. so i been a bit hesitant to try it again.
