Need to perfect my launch and shifting

I am pretty rough and don't seem to be shifting very well at all
Does anyone have some websites or anything on basics of how to drag race (or street race =) ) please.
Thanks

if you go top www.geocities.com/foff667 there is a series of videos that bill put up called "how to drag race" or something like that. it gives you all the basic, from going throughg the water box, to staging a car, and even how to power shift.

hope this helps

later

Half of those clips would not download for me.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
