Launch
-
Verb: A term used to describe an extremely quick acceleration from a complete stop while in a car. When launching a car, one places the car in gear, revs the engine to high RPM, then drops the clutch in very rapidly (see [dumping the clutch]). The idea behind a launch is to accelerate as quickly as possible from a standstill without experiencing wheelspin or loss of traction, in which one has to find the correct RPM (engine speed) to release the clutch in order to accelerate. This is different form just plain dumping
