ok when you pull up to the line you do this:
1. Stage
2. You let the clutch a little out just so it grabs
3. As soon as it grabs you hold the E-Brake up
4. Then bring your tach to whatever you launch at
5: soon as the last yellow light hit you throw the e-brake down
Since your clutch is all ready grabbing your car takes off and you just let go of the clutch its very simple
It takes all the tension off your axles... but it does hurt your clutch a little
Try it in a parking lot or something... Believe me it works man

dude its very very very easy.... as long as your not lazy and throw the ebrake the whole way down your car will shoot off like a rocket... you will think your car is all wheel drive....dont have pedal to the floor and ure tires wont spin.... i launch my car around 4k and my tires dont spin
I'm going to try that when I got to the strip...

Wow I feel bad for all of these clutches... yes it will work, yes it helps take the strain off of the axles, yes it will kill your clutch and warp your flywheel. Unless you go out and physically practice launching then you will never get it.
The way I launch is the same as I did with all my all wheel drive cars. 3500 - 4000 let out the clutch to where it wants to start grabbing but you dont move. In one smooth motion let out the clutch while the gas pedal is on the way to the floor. There usually is some spin but no hop at all. I haven't been to the track with this car but I can tell you that with my Talons I would cut a consistant 1.6x 60' on drag radials.
Have fun, go break something haha

would seem difficult to do...
its all about time anyway...and to have to release ebrake and then start shifting all as fast as you...
would seemingly only add more to your reaction/launch time..imo
but with practice any thing is possible!...
