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.

Come to Columbus on the 18th and run with the OVR SCCA group (I'll be there working on some changes to the car....it could be bad, it could be good).

www.ovr-scca.org

i've wanted to come down and race with you guys before, but its that 2 hour drive, not sure its worth it. the reason i havent been autocrossing this year is i cant set aside nearly an entire day for a specific activity, just have too much catching up to do on weekends to do that anymore (read - damn engineering college is ruining my life!).

but i'll try to make it when i can. I am doing down closer to you for mid-ohio with the norpca, registered for that months ago and scheduled time off of work to prepare the car.
