New at the track question about launching with red line tires

Hi all

First I would like to thank everyone at FABO for the excellent advise that they have been passing along.

I'm kind of new to this.. I mean I used to street drag back I the days

Now to get up to date... I currently own a 1969 Dart GTS with a pretty much stock 340 recently rebuilt zero deck, Quick Fuel 750 carb and 3.91 rear end.

Im thinking of taking it to the track here to sort of get an idea of how it does.

The main questions that I have is that I'm using red line diamond back tires 24 inches tall with my 3.91 rear end... lots of torque... but probably also lots of smoking them down the whole length which is no good for et.

Should I even do a burn out or would I better with just a could of dry hops and what kind of tire pressure should I be run?


I'm thinking conservatively that this car should be I in the 14s... would love to get a little lower but that would definelty require slicks


Anyways thanks for your time


And is 14s about what I should be expecting
