you can do it
!
if you have a parking lot with enough room to launch and plenty of shut down room .you can practice there.
otherwise find a local track that has test and tune times and find some racers to pick there brains on launching.
i would start off by getting accustomed to doing a burnout.
hold the front brake bring the rpm's up to 8000 area and start letting the clutch out,the rear tire should brake loose while you sit still and roast the tire.after the tire is spining keep the brake held and bring the rpm's back down.
after you are used to that you can do a burnout and start letting the brake out while the tire is smoking.
it should feel pretty greasy in the rear end and prolly go a lil sideways,it's no big deal just keep it lit and the front end pointed straight until it hooks up and goes straight then open the throttle and start feeding it gears.
whatever you do do not get scared and shut the throttle off after letting the brake out doing the burnout it can throw you out of control.
ease out of the gas after it is smoking and you will feel it start to grab.once it grabs you can go full throttle.
not to get into too much family business but can't your dad tell you how to launch the old beast?
