Cool car! How long did the swap take? Just have one dumb question that I've always wanted to ask......Why do a burn out before racing the quarter mile? I know dumb question...probably has something to do with traction but I always wanted to know "for sure" what the reason was.

What I"m talking about is having a Bias ply tire out back and a Radial up front. witch is any street tire. If you need more it says it right on some slicks not to mix them like that.
The reason for this is a radial has a stiffer side wall then a slick does and there for they sway at different rates and can make the car feel lose.
