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.

We have a guy who comes down from your area, he's running a Covette in SM2 (my competition) this year. It's not that far.....(ok, maybe it is).
