M/T drag street radials hook like a mother fu...cker

The late great nitrous guru Monte Smith always said that drag radials were always harder on drivetrain parts than real slicks. Real slicks can still work with a some wheelspin, and sometimes a little extra wheel speed can be beneficial. Drag radials need to be dead hooked, if they spin the only way to get them hooked up is to pedal it. The dead hook can be more shock (stick trans or transbrake) to the drivetrain than a spinnin-a-little slicks.
