You do, rockford does this type of racing aswell.

Idk how close you are to that track but it may be worth the drive to try it once.

Rockford is only about 1.5hrs away I might have to put the front sway bar back on and give it a try. :D

You will be more prone to wheelspin on an oval track than at a dragstrip.

So if you do this with a high hp rwd car, its a good idea to pull up to the line with your rearend closer to the wall then your front slightly (see my 2010 vids above). Doing this will help traction and lessen the chance of your rearend sinking down the track on the launch due to the front-strait banking.

Seekonk speedway does this aswell (i think its in your area), and infact they get probably the highest car-count out of any track that i know of for spectator drags.

Yeah Seekonk isnt too far from here, might have to give it a try.

I know theres a Star Speedway right next to NED, but I think thats a dirt track IIRC...
