bah. what's the worst that could happen? drop the driveshaft? screw up the transmission?

funny how people are petrified until they get the first run in. then you realize that with street tires on, it's really just like running light to light. maybe a little more traction, but not all that much. you hear about guys breaking stuff once they get the sticky tires on... once the friction element is neutralized, the power has to go somewhere and it tends to find the weakest link in the chain to break.

seriously, unless you car is really tired, you have nothing to worry about running it at the strip. right, melissa?
