Digging for info - front drum explosion on 727s

I start and finish off in 3rd gear even with my 318 cars.
Never have a problem achieving a good burnout.
I always lift while tires are still spinning.

The problem with the 9/10 second Stock/SS cars is
that they occasionally explode the tires 20 or 30 ft out if we
hit a bald spot. If you do not react fast enough and lift
they will Hook Hard and bang there goes the sprag no matter
how good of a one is in the transmission.

It is never pretty when we take the trans back apart!
