Then analyze your timeslip, and do it again. After a few years you should get the hang of it...btw R compound tires help too...
few years?

Did I stutter? Ask anyone with a great 60 foot how long it took to learn how to do it consistently and repeatably. I assume that you don't drag race year round...so a few years means a few seasons of racing...at least here in Michigan..

Bogging is when the RPM drops to a point that the car no longer accelerates quickly... it bogs. Can't explain it any better than that without going over your head.
