I woudn't recommend driving like this every day 100 miles a day, but for weekly trips to the drag strip it's fine. Also, when you take off you should be dropping the clutch, not easing it out. You will want to drop the clutch at about the 4K range, maybe a bit higher or lower depending on your tires.
