Thanks guys.
I didn't deep stage on purpose at least not that time. I usually like to test the traction and see how high I can rev before the car starts to push me forward. It's different each night. I do the dry hops to also get a feel for the track. If it's real good a short burnout is all that is needed and I test it with a small hop and if I don't hear my tires at all, then it's on. If I do hear my tires then I know the track is not as good. Also I want my tires to last as long as possible for the track. When I first got them I was doing john force burnouts and it didn't help. I could still roast them if I launched wrong. Then I noticed how fast they were wearing out and cut back on the big burnouts. They wouldn't of lasted me a couple of months if I had kept doing that. I'm probably on the last half of them now. Here is the burnout procedure from hoosier.
2. What is the proper burn out procedure for Hoosier drag tires?
ANSWER: With Hoosier's "high traction" compounds, we have found the following burn out procedure to work for most cars. We recommend rolling through the water box to wet the tires. Start the burn out. Once the tires start to "haze", start to slow the burn out down and proceed to the start line. The goal of the burn out is to clean all debris off the tires and heat the just the surface of the tread.

So getting drag radials doesn't mean you can get the front wheels off the ground, you still have to figure out the best way to launch your car.
