That's what I do lol when I do flashlight drags I sometimes leave VDC on because of lack of grip on a regular surface rather than a strip with many runs on it and the amount of grip in the launch section.

That's most of it. The launch is the most important part though and a bit trickier with a manual.

Yeah flubbing hard launches burned the clutch out of my old car. I'm still kinda nervous to do it in the new car.

Well you don't have to do a hard launch if you're not comfortable with it.

What I want to see is me vs Cody if I go the TT route. He's very likely a better driver than I am presently but I have time to practice at least.

I swear to God, if the car isn't ready because it's missing a Habi Babi shift knob...

Shift knobs and decals make everything faster. I have so many decals. If I buy a beater, I'm going to cover it in decals.
