Hello all!
In the next few weeks, I will be going to a local 1/8 mi track. I have never really drag raced before but have been to a few in my short life. I have a few questions that I'm hoping to get some help on. I drive a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus (automatic). I run street tires (the ones that came with it from the factory), so I assume I won't really need to do a burnout since they do not have the same setup/ requirements compared to slicks. One of my biggest questions is what would be an ideal launching RPM? I've been reading a bit into this and have seen some people say that I don't need to have it to anything, have it at 1,200-1,500; some say to use launch control, some say to not use it. Some say don't use traction control, some say use it. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!
