I also love smoking out the neighborhood, although now that I run drag radials all the time I can't afford to melt them off. There is always the possiblility of breaking something but on street tires doing burnouts is not likely to hurt it. I had many 1.6 60' times on drag radials at the track, and countless dead hooks that were likely also 1.6 60' times on the street and didn't break the D-36. I do have it clunking now, after cutting 1.5 60' times. It actually happened coming out of the burnout at the track to heat the tires. It went sideways spinning and as I eased out of the gas to end the burnout it snapped straight and felt like something hit the back of the car. I'm certain it wouldn't have happened on street tires, it's just the stickiness of good drag radials as they get hot and start to bite in. Go have fun with it! |
