BTW, how in the world do you get a 60' like that on stock tires. Can you make us a tutorial? Throw some tire pressure bread crumbs?

Do a burnout for a few seconds until you see smoke, roll out of the burnout, stage as shallow as possible, load the engine (power brake) to about 1500 rpms, then swap feet (foot off brake as foot slams on gas) and GOOOO!
With that technique I don't feel much wheel spin at all (if any) thus the reason I'm skeptical about investing in slicks.
