What is Drop The Clutch?
1.
A racing technique used for launching manual-transmission cars, consisting of pushing in the clutch pedal, putting the car in gear, revving with the gas pedal to your desired launch point, and then instantly releasing the clutch pedal.

In racing, this is how you launch the car at the beginning of the race . It causes a lot of wear-and-tear on the transmission, though.
