My drag technique is pretty much the norm I suppose, the ass end brakes loose pretty easy so dropping the clutch is a no no unless you wanna spin in the pit through 2nd. Clutch is best feathered at around 2-2.5k, once you grip, mash pedal, kick clutch and shift simultaneously at 7-7.5k and just bang the gears from there.
Ive noticed that it gets squirelly dropping the clutch as well. Stomp on it in, and the traction control comes on. (of course no tranction control when racing
