No offense, but anything short of RWD + Slicks was just plain stupid at that track. There was a 98 Cobra running 14.6's, C5 Z06 running 13.0's, and you can imagine what all of us FWD + street tire cars were running. 
For reference, the only time I have traction issues is at ~5000 rpms in 1st gear on the street, and that's with my 60 treadware tires. These things are just plain sticky. At the track, I was losing traction all the way through 2nd gear, and that's with a measily ~206fwhp. And you can't forget that big speed bump looking thing just before the 1/8th mile, and the fact that the track is uphill.  The track used to run the opposite direction until a car ended up in the street. 
All in all, it was still fun to actually have a dragstrip event, and to get that many Contours out to the track.
