I have found my 60ft times improved when I started riding the clutch through the 60.Like trying to simulate an auto, my 60"s went from 2.0-2.2 to 1.8-1.9

Heat in the tyres. I picked up 2/10's on Sunday after being able to launch 200 RPM higher than usual. Lowered my 60', thus lowering my ET.
A good burnout does wonders.
