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.

Street tires tend to get greasy when you heat them up. The objective is to go around the water box, do a quick, dry spin of your tires, just enough to throw the gravel out of them, and then nice and easy off the line. To be honest, I think 2500 is a bit high for a street tire launch. I'd go more like 22 or 2300.
