1.7's is the 60' to shoot for. You can do a search on "Launching" and probably come up with the proper technique for launching. The way I launch.....

Feather throttle between 4-4500 rpm
When last yellow light comes on, floor the gas & start slipping the clutch
Once the car is moving, let out on the clutch faster. This part is the key, as too fast & you'll bog out. Too slow, and you'll smell your clutch the rest of the night!

I get consistent 1.8 60' times using that technique.

Keep practicing & it'll just become automatic!

um what helped me the most was actually practicing at the track. took me two trips to the track and about 15 runs to get my 60 footer under 2 seconds.
