I'm considering doing some drag racing--just a little bit--at an event held by one of the local clubs, here in Mass... The thing is, I've done a ton of drag runs in a Mustang, but never in my Camaro.
There's got to be a trick to launching with street tires, without breaking the rear-end or smoking the clutch...right? Anyone care to eleborate? I figure bump the konis to soft (I have SAs) and that's about all I can do. I have a T2R if that even matters and I'll be on street tires--Azenis 615s.

I can't believe I'm seeing a thread with the words "drag race" here......but to answer the question.
Smoking the clutch or breaking the rear isn't going to be the problem, hooking up is going to be the problem, I had to feather the clutch quite a bit on the LT1 to get it to grab and I would bet that is going to be the technique you end up using. |
