It means to get the RPMs up and let the clutch out real fast (pop the clutch) so you can smoke the tires. J

What he said is mostly correct, to "pop the clutch" you let your foot slide off to the side, and the clutch pedal literally "pops up", hence the name....[sm=smiley20.gif]

Don't feel bad about that, I've owned alot of vehicles in the 20 years that I've been driving and when I bought my truck it was the 1st automatic that I have ever owned.
