drag racing becomes both more fun and more frustrating once you have more power than traction. it’s fun once or twice a year.

so I went to get some parts today and still had the DRs on the car. hit a light with nobody around so I tried a launch on the street and they hooked amazingly… is is possible that empire’s prep was worse than the street?

tire pressure?  
how did you launch?  
etc?

I know last time I took off from idle however 1st spins bad doing the same thing on the street and I had no issues at NYI could have been a bad night.

I think Drew and I both went 9.5x something… We were both fighting traction issues. I stopped running because I now have cords showing on the rear radials… Thought I could get a little more out of them.

@Choda

1st pass I sheared the bolts/straps that hold the driveshaft to the rear. Went into town, grabbed some and fixed it in the pits.  
2nd pass as Joe said I was pedaling real bad. 9.517 and looking at the log saw that I had air fuels in the 15:1 range in boost. Glad it stayed together. I decided no more runs without figuring that out. Drove it home
