You probably could lauch at that RPM, but quite frankly, I'm afraid
to try. Visions of my driveshaft, rearend, etc. coming apart in little
pieces and dropping on the track kept my drag radial launches nice and

I think Dahrl pulls 1.5's in his ten second Dak, so 1.6's are certainly
achievable, but at what cost? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, I dunno.
