Best to launch between 6-7k and cross your fingers that your wheel spin isn't too bad. Your 60 ft time will still suck.

Drag strip, Just test your launches. My best launch with a 2.2 60ft was at 7500rpms.

also the track was crappy, they didnt call it slippery Rock Falls Raceway for no reason lol.
