when i launch I stomp the gas and start to slip the clutch, as i would in regular driving, when I reach 4000rpm. The tires do a little chirping but there is no dramatic burnout, I just take off. I havent launched like this in a racing situation, all of mine have been from a roll, but i do practice my launching every now and then and that seems to work out best.
