When you launch, if you begin to slip the tires, it will slightly slip the clutch or slow the gear to stop unwanted tire spin allowing you to hook up and boogie. OR it could do like the old school drag drivers and apply slight brake pressure to the back brakes only to stop wheel spin and get the same result.
Either way it's a traction control feature geared toward 1/4 mile performance.
Most people who raced used either a slight clutch pressure or had an E-brake handle set up to use just the back brakes. It worked better than feathering the throttle and allowed you to keep the power applied.
Top Fuel and Funnycars now have air activated multi-stage clutches and in combination with weights on the discs the crew chiefs make their best guess on how to program when and where the clutch stages lock in.
Play with it and you'll get a feel for where you want your RPM to be when you launch. If you consistently stay hooked fully by 60 feet you have it right. Hell if you have a good set of "sticky stripes" you may even pull off wheels up launches! You may want to look at Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T radials. Best of both street and strip performance for tires.
