I would make sure your pinion angle, shocks, tire pressure, etc are set to where they should be. That will limit the amount of passes and time it takes between runs. The staging lanes get quite packed fairly early.

If you have a 10 bolt, I would suggest slipping it off of the line. A 10 bolt can't handle many hard launches, ask me how I know. You just may have to let it cool for a little while between runs. But with Route 66 that usually isn't a problem

With slipping the clutch you'll just end up heating it up a bit. If you hot lap it, you may have issues with it slipping.
