Using the foot break I'm trying to get more consistency in my launch. Practicing on the street is just about useless due to tire spin. At the track I'm lucky to get in 3 or 4 runs during t'n't. Does anyone else have any issues were they have to modify their launch or driving technique? All comments welcome. Thanks!

You need to eliminate any factors that affect traction off the line and then go back and try. If you have traction issues with tire you run you need to upgrade. What tires do you use and what are the range of your 60' times? Do you have an A-body or F-body type suspension?
