Default drag racing

when drag racing, how do u start without poping up and landing on ur back (u can't just pin it and pop the clutch) do u give it less gas, or slowly let out of the clutch for the first few gears. any other tips on drag racing would be appreciated. thanks

Keep your weight forward and you don't have to pin the throttle, just ease into it quickly. If your quad has enough torque try taking off in second gear. You may need to slip the clutch a little till you get going, then get into the throttle. Just keep practicing eventually you will get used to it.

Good luck.

everyone has their own technique. i like to sit forward towards the tank. i also let the clutch out enough that it wants to roll. however, i hold the foot brake so it doens't roll. i also rev it up a little bit. sometimes i prefer to start in second gear depending on the conditions. just practice a bit.

Or be lazy and buy a ignition stutter box. Hold throttle wide open, dump the clutch and go.

Thats why I love my shee. Rev it to the moon, pop the clutch, and the rear tires will break loose on pavement. The front end stays planted.

Well what i do and alot of other guys do is, when your about to launch u put your nuts on your gas tank and just hold the throttle wide open and just let go of the cluch and holdon for your life. Thats a good way to learn.
