Ok, sure. Slap on some Drag Radials, rev it up, drop the clutch, hit the brakes.
Good enough?

This doesn't make sense. Unless he busted a line and leaked fluid. The worst I could imagine would be brake fade but I doubt this too.

Ya'll would do well to listen to Jackie Chan when it comes to cutting good 60 fts on street tires. He cuts CONSISTENT (interpretation: nearly EVERY time) 1.9's on street tires (no drag radials).

A line lock is prefered and just plain easier and safer to do a burnout. All you may do to your brakes is glaze the rear pads and put a lot of heat into the rears which could cause them to fade which isn't really all that bad but I like to keep stress of the parts when it's not really necessary.
As far as losing traction with a burnout...as I stated earlier OVERHEATING the tire will cause a loss in traction as the tires are operating well out of their range, it's physics and proven. A small burnout to put some heat into them and to clean them off WILL help traction. I know that when I burn mine for a few secs that they get sticky enough that they feel like fly paper, if I were to over do it then the compound would lose it's adhesion to itself and come apart causing a loss in taction. Stay out of the water too. . .

) on slicks
I really started a war here, didn't I. It seems that everyone has thier own interpretation on how to get thier best 60' times. As a fact, I drag race professionally and posted this to see if I could get any input or opinions from guys that raced the same car as I just bought 3 months ago.. I only made 5 passes with my car, so I will figure the temperature that the tires need to get to get the best traction off the line. I did run the car with 1st gear burnouts with barely any smoke. Spun like crazy with a 2.376 60'. Then I tried the 2nd gear burnout and brought it down to a 2.108 60'. I seriously think that is close to the best those Kumho 712's are going to take me.

i doubt it. when you start believing you can only cut 60's as good as most front wheel drive cars then you should give up. i already posted that there is a guy on here that pulls low 1.9s and he is in an auto bolt on vert on those tires. on a poorly prepped track i was pulling low 2.0s the first day i got them
Well I am only .108 away from 2.000.. I do believe I'll get there, or better in my next couple of passes..
