People talk about feathering the clutch and stuff while taking off... how exactly is this done?

I have yet to seriously launch my car.. but when I'm on the street and I want to take off hard I will rev it to about 2,000 and slip it a little... I dont spin to the point where 1st is worthless... but I do hear tire spin all the way through first and I chirp 2nd.

How long are you actually "feathering" the clutch for? I just kind of pretend I'm taking off like normal though I'm revved at 2k and as soon as the clutch is out I go full throttle.

Give me some tips also... track opens up March 5th!

I dont think I will ever power shift my car but I think I'm getting pretty good at it... I can shift pretty hard especially 2nd to 3rd. We try to record in my car but when the camera man isnt ready his head jerks around and I bark 3rd.
