Best RPM to Launch at for 1/4 MT?

BOLIO 671

IDK...I've tried all RPM ranges suggested here at my track...seems that my Trapped Speed will be high, but my overall E/T is slower...The launch pad at our strip is made of concrete that eventually blends into asphalt...Launching anywhere from 2500-+ on the RPM range causes my Z to sit and spin out since its launching off the concrete....I have found that launching between 1800-2000K works best with no wheel spin....I'm also the type that drops the clutch and mashes the gas once that light turns green...Could this be a contirbuting factor? Still trying to feel out my car at the track...

Seems like that is the factor. You need to slip the clutch like has been suggested in previous posts. Drop it and you will just light up the tires...

Whoops...sorry....I do slip the clutch...typo on my part...meant to say "Drop the hammer" like Cole Trickel in "Days of Thunder" LMFAO!!!!!!

but I do get on the gas right away...I kinda have to feather the gas out of the box...A lot of guys from off island really hate our launch pad here....They say that our track isn't anything like the states...Like explained earlier the launch pad is 100% concrete...it doesn't help when they flush down pre launch area with water for those running slicks...Once you roll on that water and get onto the concrete launching pad its spin city....until you merge into asphalt....this is where you will feel the tires bite.

I've only officially raced at our drag strip these past couple of weeks...Old timers that have done serious track time say that it just takes time getting used to.
