I usually drag every other weekend, so i've had alot of practice to get good at launching and finding the right combination of clutch and rpm... Dropping the clutch at 3k will result in wheel spin, you'll burn out in the pit, I know first hand. Feathering the clutch at 3k is excessive and will smoke your clutch pretty good, I know first hand... Holding RPM's steady at 2k while letting the clutch out until you grip is the best method i've used to date, once you hook, mash throttle, wait til shift light blinks, and just bang through the gears, feel lips curling into a maniacal sneer...
