Jim....you old dog, you know how to launch, so don't make it sound too easy...last time down Muncie's track, I heard a nice pop from the rear end, and it made me think a little bit before launching that hard again...first time for the drag radials...so, I am back to street tires for now...they are a little more forgiving....do as you like, but I am beefing mine up before the track next year.....the roadster has a least a 100 hard launches under her belt...so it hasn't happened yet....
