This particular run felt unusually good. I slipped the clutch at about 5K rpm, got NO wheelspin at all, and shot forward. I just shifted at about 6K rpm (and not at redline). I couldn't believe my time since I was running like crap all night and blamed the humidity.
I've also had another great launch, but misshifted 2nd, which ruined my run. I think Randy heard that awful sound all the way from the pits. *cringes*

Be careful about grinding our pitifully soft 2nd gear & synchros...trust me.
