thanks for the feedback
You want to start off with low revs and let your clutch off slow, just until you think the clutch grabs fully. Think of two plates. One is spinning with the engine, one isn't until you bring them closer and closer together. If one plate is spinning mad fast and you slowly bring the other one, they're going to create a lot of heat. If one plate is going real fast and you dump the clutch, it's a ton of strain on all parts and you'll get wheel spin. However, if you have the flywheel spinning at a reasonable speed, then your clutch has an easier time matching the speed of the flywheel as you let it out.

I typed that paragraph and I'm not reading it over. I bet it's crazy.
