How do you get a Suspension to hook, when the track surface is marginal at best

On one had i think, it's only a high 11 sec car, should be good....
Then my thoughts go to well, it's heavy, so it could do damage to the housing sooner......
then i think, I don't even have a trac brake and a auto is a lot softer on everything then a stick shift.

What say you !?!.
