Any tips?

[2stroker4ever]

Just got the 'shee last night, and went out ridin with 2 of my friends, who both have bone-stock warriors. Now, this is a little embarrassing, since I've got a '97 'shee, bored over, wiseco pistons, FMF Gold Series pipes, no airbox let, jetted, and 22" holeshots. Anyway, we lined the 'shee, and one of the Warriors up to drag, for the first time. It was a straight away, maybe 300ft.. Anyway, it was soft sandy kind of conditions, and then there was a grassy part you could run on right besides it too. First run, I was in the sandy part, and we took off, and I couldn't pull away, we were pretty even the whole way.... I know I've got moooore than enough power and all to walk him easy, but I couldn't get ANY traction. I made it to about 4th gear before I ran out of room, but was spinning through the first 3 gears. The second race, I ran in the grass part, and it was better.. but still spinning like mad. I won all the races, but I should have left him in the dust I think... Any tips on taking off in those kinds of ground conditions, or clutching/shifting technique's? We dragged on the pavement a little while afterwards... and well, you can assume what the results were when I could hook-up.
