Chaps...

This is a question for the people that would consider themselves trackwhores.

There are obviously different types of technologies for vehicles to stage with. Trans brakes, B&M makes wheel brakes, etc.

There is some slight debate about utilizing the parking brake during staging to "preload the drivetrain".

The method in question is to engage the launch control, let the clutch out to the point where it just barely engages (so as to take the slack out of the drivetrain) and just as the car starts to creep forward, engage the parking brake. When the lights go green, you let out the clutch and the parking brake.

I'm not posting this to flame the individual who posted this technique, and I'd ask for you to approach it similarly. The topic was posed in this thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ast-night.html

I obviously responded to the contrary, and am posting this primarily because I'm curious if any of you are doing such a thing, or if its yielding higher ETs and/or 60ft times?

We're talking about cars with non-built transmissions here. Street cars in the truest sense of the word.

 

A little searching would have answered this!

Right... I was more looking for opinions on whether this is a viable method to use on a street car. I'll blitz through that thread for now though.
