At Atco you can't avoid the water, so I spin the tires a little with T/C off to clean them. On the 13.9xx I forgot to put T/C back on but got a decent launch. On another run I left T/C off but the tire/tires broke loose and I bailed on the run.

It seems that I got the better run with T/C off with a half decent launch

I launch from idle. For my third time out I just may need more track time .

Thanks for the info.
Yep, launching at the track can be a completely different animal... which is why I smile at the guys that think they can just show up at a track and rip off a magazine ET their first time out!

I'm surprised you can't avoid the water? Most tracks I've been to make if very clear that you need to avoid the water with street tires!

I think with practice you will get your 60' down... also try experimenting with your air pressure in the rear tires... and I would take your front tires up to like 45 or 50!
