Hi there not sure on opening times but

Regarding launch i had Willy 1 and a santa pod i ran 15.9 after a few attempts which still wasnt brillant but i found the best revs is somewhere between 4 & 4.5k as long as you have uprated clutch or newish clutch side step the pedal and keep the gas pinned if it hits redline after jumping hold it as 9 times out of ten it will be the wheels spinning you will know when your near the pin, try and judge it with speed aswell as revs will get a better entry in to second without dropping to many revs then the rest is well crossing the line with out hitting redline in third and fourth
:D Good luck

4kish on cam, ease off a lil if wheels get bogged down and back on as soon as, change just before the limiter, take your spare, sub etc and rear seats out :D

Stadard willy with full system (decat)

Think if you launch at 4-5k and side step the clutch you'll get 16s! I launch at 2-2.4k and feed the clutch out and power in slowly...got 14.97 in stripped williams with filter, zorst and chip on 1st ever go.
