Message: [QUOTE="nikki, post: 1019774, member: 18126"] I've always started in 2nd on everything I've raced.... 125's, 250F's, 450's, even 80's. I don't like 1st because you go through the gear so quick, have more chance of riding a wheelie, plus you lose time adding another shift. As far as the clutch, I hold a steady half throttle on the line with the clutch in, and when the gate drops, I smoothly dump the clutch and full throttle all at once. Best thing to do - PRACTICE! Over and over and over! :ride: [/QUOTE]
