Sticky tires, traction bars, and pedal it if you have too. With a stall you're going to spin even worse so start saving for traction stuff now....

This is why some of the guys by 4X4s for the drag strip. The extra weight slows us down some but don't try racing us from light to light on the street for we are always ready.

I little throttle discression on launch help too. WOT is not always the best launch.
