first time at the track

Well i went to the dragstrip for the first time tonight. Atlanta Dragway in Commerse. It was fun but i could not figure out how to launch the car, maybe it was my tires, really sucky eco tires, probably treadware about 1,000,000. Well anyway best time of the day was a 15.111, man it sucked. that was with a 2.592 60' time at 96.58 mph. The best 60' time i got was a 2.202 but i missed 3rd so that sucked. The best part of the day was my reaction times, nothin worse than .433 with my best r/t of a .057 , 60' 2.211 but only made a 15.225 1/4 mile (missed third/ couldnt get into third). Anyway i made 8 runs, car did fine temp wise,only wish i could get my launch better. I was trying different rmps all night, 3000, 3500, 4500 , could never find a good one. What do you guys normally launch at? Plus do u do a burnout to help heat the tires up? I tried but i really had never done one before, "just rev it up and dump the clutch" right?

I have an 89 Turbo 2, RB turbo back exhaust, hks filter, FCD, removed air pump, boost at 10 psi, just broken-in rebuild.

Also i have some ACT clutch that is really stiff, pretty heavy clutch, dont know what it is , it came on the car when i bought it.
