Scott- my advice it to join us at NYIRP next year and figure it out.

Here is a question for y'all.  My first experience dragging was down at
Mason-Dixie.  It was lots of fun, and I finally figured out how to start
without too much wheelspin or bogging.  Had to do it by ear, not tach...

But I was always stumped on how to let off on the gas at the end of the
1/4.  I would slowly let off the throttle the first few times - but I was
right at the top end of third gear, so I was running at about 6000 RPM or
so.  Didn't seem right.  The rest of the day I would finish and then
depress the clutch, quickly pop it in neutral, and coast - but it seemed
like a big shock to the drivetrain.

What is the suggested method for letting off the throttle?
