Exclamation Practicing to launch

I find launching a little hard to do. I practice launching every now and then, but my results are always the same. I read about pre loading the tranny, but my clutch smells since I don't quite get the technique just yet. I'm a little slow on catching the engagement that I either lurch or end up launching and bog. It also took me sometime to get the shifting properly. With little practice, I got the shifting to where I think it should be. Just the launch part... *sigh* I've read threads here, and it helps, but on my part is where the struggle lies.

Anyway, I'm just venting... gnite!!
