   I borrowed Bill's BFG's a few weeks ago to try 'em out (2.05 60'), but
my major problem was that I couldn't get a good burnout on 'em. They'd
spin for a second, then bite and send me off toward the staging beams
like a bullet. Do you have a line lock?
  
  (I asked Bill to stand in front of my truck and hold it in place so
I could get a good burnout but he turned me down.) :-)
