That's a waste of rubber. Burnout (leave) from the line on green? You should go halfway through the second amber. Adjust accordingly from there. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out!

Stock 1999 SVT Completed 4 runs at Milan Dragway this week. 1/4 mile = 15.89/15.84/15.82/16.41 Reaction = .743/.554/.905/1.191 Experienced severe front tire chatter/bounce on launch - every time. effen a! Otherwise ran pedal to metal to traps. Going back in September. Thanks for the reply's! SVT-Jettstream 1999 - Red #528 of 2760.
