Riding style- Clutch slipper vs clutch drop

When i was at the track Saturday.I read how most fast guys target getting the clutch out quick vs slipping it with higher rpm. Prior to satuday, with a 16/42 gearing and no TRE, I left the line at 8000 riding the clutch. When I tried getting the clutch out quick at lower rpm, the motor bogged. Saturday I changed to 16/45 and added a TRE, I focused on dropping the clutch. I was amazed at how the combo allowed me to get off the clutch almost instantly. The thing Rpm'S SO fast, I almost couldn"t shift fast enough. This did result in my best ET ever.

Funny thing, I was getting low 1.5 60ft times, with this new technique my 60's dropped to high 1.5's. But my 330 times improved dramatically. Everthing got better, MPH, ET..
 
You might get more input by posting in the racing--1/4mile forum rather than busa problems forum.
 
Front tire clearing the 60'lights triping it with the rear...maybe?
