Tire selection.

Hello, I am a beginner of drag race.

Recently, I purchased NT05R, a kind of drag radial.
305-35-19

I realized the track prohibited "burnout" due to it is not for the drag. And I ran without burnout.

In this case, seems the traction is worse than PS4S, a street tire. Can't hook up even at 2nd gear at all.
Lastly , I put 4 of water bottle boxes in the trunk, and it was little better.

Do I better run with the street tire in this case?
My power range is 750rwhp with whipple sc.

Thanks

I don't understand why they wouldn't let you do a burnout? The NT05r is certainly a drag radial...

They are afraid of damage on the track. They borrow the track from a kind of govrnment track. There is no drag race track in Korea. That's why...

If you are not allowed to do a burnout, guess that you could try using tire warmers. You'd need to jack up the car, put the warmers onto the rear tires, and hook up a generator to power them; then when you are getting ready to run, turn off the warmers, pull them off the tires, and lower the car back down.

I get better traction with DRs on the street. With your power with no burnout it is going to hard to hook.

Seems kind of silly since when you leave the line you're doing the same thing. Do they have a water box?
