Default Good launch= :- )

I just tried the AW Certified Launch Technique and I almost rear-end a car that was, an instant prior, half a block away from me. I'm gonna have to go do it again to make sure I did it right...

Make sure you "did it right"? Better give the car in front a full block next time ; - )

Yeah...sure is fun! Clutch feels fine, BTW. It takes a LOT of clamping power to do what I just did

Default The way he's describing having a "grabby" clutch for his technique, he must mean WOT and drop of

clutch at 3-3.5k rpm. Not sidestepping the clutch, but releasing FAST.

Default I figure I'm one of the few people who will understand this. We seriously watch the same TV shows.

Default HEhehe...neither do I! But Conan rocks!

He's my favorite. Up until this year I used to watch him every night. Now, I'm lucky if I can stay up long enough.

Thank g-d for DVR. :-D
