I'm not a drag racer but launching is an important part of autocrossing that I get a ton of practice with. I have probably only made about 20-30 passes on the 1/4 mile track but even on my first visit, I was able to time the tree and launch well enough to beat faster cars....

The orange Z was a FI beast, (my Z is stock HP, on street tires). I thought he realed me in at the end, but he swore I beat him.
If you look close, you will notice two STi's in the night runs. (they were two different cars and drivers.)
