Traction is a major problem at the drag strips here. Burning out should give me just a little more traction, even with "street tires", right ?

But street tires LOSE traction after you burn the tires...they are the opposite of drag slicks....Drag slicks need to be warm, but street tires don't. You'll get worse traction if you burn them out before a run.
Experienced drivers on street tires will drive around the water box and keep their tires dry, no spinning prior to the launch on the last yellow light. Not having hot greasy tires helps a lot in getting traction, especially on a prepared track surface.

Ok, I C. Thanks, that helps out a lot. No more spinning my tires from now on.
But... errr... we don't have waterboxes here and as far as "prepared surfaces" go, we have our drag racing on airstrips (for small planes) so it's just plain concrete track. Guess "cold" street tires are still better, right ?
Thanks again,
Danny

It's easy....and anyone who say's you can't do burnouts or drifts with an auto hasn't seen me yet. Just grab the break rev up a little, then dump the brake and mat it at the same time....Instant burnout....but it's true on the dragstrip with street tires no burnout needed. You'll get better traction without doing it "trust me I live right beside a racetrack"......

damn its easier then 6MT.. put it in gear, press the breaks with one foot, with other press gas pedle slowely until your tires starts spinning.
then you turn your steering wheel and let go the breaks and walla donuts

there are 2 versions of a brake torque kit for sale if your interested. perfect for drag strip use. they're not $5 though, lol. but you do get what you pay for. if anything, i'd say its a lot easier to spin the tires in an auto then a manual.
