What you need to practice is maintaining a certain rpm while launch (when the wheels are spinning, before they grip). I generally launch at 4000 to 5000rpms, and I keep it there until just before the tires grip. Once they grip, you go full throttle and drive away.
Some people recommend 6000rpm, but I've only ever gotten massive wheelhops at that point.
We have independent rear suspension, which is very prone to wheel hop (or power hopping) in launching. Try not to launch it if possible..., but if you're gonna drag race, try the above method. It's A LOT harder than it sounds..., since the car pushing hard on your **** is going to make it difficult to concentrate on the rpms.
Good luck!
