With MT Drag Radials at 13-15psi, heated up good, I can still only launch at 2,500 - 3,000 and feather in the throttle or they'll spin.

I celebrated Christmas by red lighting almost every run. Irwindale has a very slight tilt at the tree and I'm in a manual, so once you take your foot off the brake, you start to drift and I try to load the trans a touch before dropping the hammer which means it's very easy to drift across the start beam. Next year I'm going to develop the technique of using the line lock at the tree.
