I always launch in first with all traction off.

I go to Santa Pod (UK) which is an official drag strip with asphelt. ive never struggled for grip or had any issues. I imagine surface is a big contributing factor.

For autos the brake boosting sounds the best technique. 1st gear if traction is good. 2nd gear if it isn't. Shift at 6000 to 6200 rpm after 1st and 2nd.
