if it doesn't spin it might bog, keep the RPMs up and dont throw the clutch, get it out fast but make sure the RPMs dont drop down

Well, I would suggest that you can get off of the clutch a lot more quickly with the extended wheelbase. You should be running enough gear to make that possible. And as stated, you can use more rpm...and also get aggressive with the throttle.
I am an average rider. I just work on being smooth and pinning the throttle and getting off the clutch in order to let the motor and the gearing do the work. That is the basic advice that Smokin' gave me, based on my other videos.
Here is a recent pass, and you can see and hear what is going on pretty clearly:
You can tell that I could be more aggressive, and that I am bogging it some coming off the clutch. You can also hear that I am off the clutch a little beyond the tree. Launch rpm is around 4800-5000, 17/47 gearing with a tall tire, 64.8" wheelbase, and a 231 lb suited rider on a 470 lb bike.
Practice makes perfect, and I need a lot more. But, nonetheless, even that technique is good enough for mid 1.4's. I think that an onboard camera would be a good tool for anyone; sometimes you aren't doing just what you think.
That is a GoPro HD, but the regular one can do the same job. There are a few different options out there. :

What's so funny about that? We recently have seen temps of up to 98 degrees out here...that day was only around 90. I think the track temps are even higher than what the weather station says; but I don't have a handheld meter to check.
It's good to keep track of weather conditions since it greatly impacts the numbers you will run.
