Every time i go to the track i seem to screw up on the take off due to the stickyness of the track, my car stalls everytime i try to launch and reduces my time significantly. If any of you experienced drivers could give me some tips, i would greatly appreciate it.
 
Heres how I launch.

I usually 'burp' the gas (reving the engine repeatedly) above 2500 rpm. Then when I go to let out the clutch I do it quickly without dumping it. I usually try to hold the rpms about 2500. I start to let out the clutch as soon as the 2nd set of yellow lights come on. It takes longer for a FWD car to get out of the whole than you think.
