Practicing my launching
Lately i've been working on my launching pretty thuroughly. I do not street race but i need a place to practice since the Strip is so far away, so i did it at airport road. Out of many launches the one i felt was best was when i held the revs a little above 3k, held the clutch near the friction point, then tried flooring it and immediately after letting out the clutch as quick as i could without dropping it. There was a little tire squel but the car did not buck like my previous attempts. I have an 04'wrx sedan with Potenza RE01 tires and im wondering if you guys think that was a good launch and what can i do to improve? thanks.

It didnt feel like i dropped the clutch though. If i launch without spinning my tires than the car bucks and it feels like crap. Its so much easier to launch my N/A forester i guess i've gotten too used to it.
