> [@theblue](#): > > 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? What are the make and model of your drag radials? Oh and be cautious of wheel hop. It was pretty bad. ---
