Stay on the throttle no matter what, when the car gets sideways slam on the brakes and cut the wheel. Repeat until you're car is totaled.

Knowing when to let the throttle off rather than spinning and hitting the wall is an important skill to learn... lol

I came here for the 200 comments of driving lessons

Yea keep it to the floor it will hook eventually

its not even just the tyres, its the drivers not having any form of throttle control.

You can run on street tires, but always avoid the water box, tire treads will hold some water in them causing it to be very difficult to get traction, go around the water box, make a dry hop, and you will be in alot better shape, only do water burnout with slicks or drag radials

This is what happens when you think drag racing on a actual prepped track is the same as stoplight racing on your way to Wal-Mart.

Just because you can buy that fancy muscle car doesn't mean you can drive it.

I was told to go around the water if I had street tires lol

Did that red camaro have traction control on or what lol

4:14 The Dodge's brakes lights come on during the shift. Did this guy actually mash the clutch and the brake with one foot? LOL

spinning aint winning.....

I find it interesting how these guys don't realize that street tires have much stronger rubber, designed to last longer, instead of being used at your local strip. Street tires, once heated up, become slippery. Bald street tires aren't necessarily slicks either, they need to be at a proper temperature. Drag radials have significantly less pressure than normal street tires because they're designed to grab onto the rubber that you're desperately trying to cling on to much easier.

There is a particular challenge to drag racing on street tires. I do it. With a manual trans. The goal of the car build was to run respectably in all conditions. I can drive it to work, run it on a road course, drag it, and road trip it, all without any changes. Not even tire pressure. Do I give up some ET? Sure. I run mid-12's with a 122-123 trap speed, at a 7500+ DA. So obviously I do. A dedicated, single-purpose car will always do better at that single purpose. Building an all purpose car is much more difficult.

1:40 best burnout ever

People spend $40k on a car but won’t spend $600 for drag radials. Best mod for any car making good power.

Dude n the Camaro...U still owe me a 16 second car

This is hilarious 😂

That very last race was super entertaining! ROFL!!

Wait, when you’re drag racing you’re not supposed to floor it as soon as the light turns green? I was always under the impression that that’s what you had to do

Fastest police chase in history Hellcat on stock tires 😹🚗💨💨💨

I just don't understand why people chose not to do a soft launch if they don't have good grip on the strip?

I’m sure that Camaro guy with the red car with stripes is a meme on the mustang forums 😂

This is why I back into the waterbox, just into the damp area. Being all the way in the trough with street tires keeps water in the treads. This allows the water to "fling out" during the burnout to the inner fender and run back down while pre-staging/staging. You're really better off doing a quick, dry spin just to clean them.

Mustangs drivers are skilled and know what they are doing

The title of the video should be “People who don’t know how to launch their cars”

3:18 geez that hellcat though

It was at that 9.63 sec time when it went wrong ! BAAHAAHAAHAA

Leave the stability control on until you learn how to launch a car.

Okay, I am a bit confused. One tutorial video said that first timers should stick with the street tires and roll around the burnout pit and then back in to the pit for burnouts. Now I am hearing street tires are a no no. So what is it? Do I invest in drag radials if I am just doing this for fun or are the street tires just okay?

Oh hell yeah, but especially if we're talkin stock and on the hellcats. Since they only come with 275s and are fantastic for smokeshows, but suck badly when racing and is very entertaining none the less lol. That should be the very first mod on these high powered cars and have got 295 summer tires that were on my Challenger when I purchased it, so I can imagine how much more difficult it is to put the power down in a Hellcat on skinny little stock tires. Just picked up a set of Mickey T 305s and am going from 22" to 17s, so she should be able to hook pretty well with soft n stickys and can't wait to get them on her.

I am an avid drag racer and it really is amazing how many people are completely incapable of telling that they have blown the tires off and won't get off the gas. Its usually people with new challangers, camaro's or mustangs, and sometimes hondas. Drag racing on street tires works just fine if your not a moron.

We need a part 2

That camaro guy had to find the esp off button first xD

that blue Mustang was sick tho!!

I would never even think of embarrassing myself like that

their is some good skids

Throttle control and better burnouts are the name of the game here

Power is nothing without control. At least they're at the track where it's safe and they can practice. After seeing all those hating comments in street show off crashes, you gotta give these guys credit for showing up to the track at least, right? Because at this skill level, they'd definitely be the kind to hit a crowd.

Racing on street tires is pointless when a car makes more than 400whp. You’ll always end up fighting for traction.

It's such a night and day difference it's crazy

I wonder if the Camaro guy knew that you're supposed to do the burn out before the race LOL

Track day for the squids

I would take this issue any day of the week as opposed to my differential exploding!

Gotta love the Crossfire kicking Mustang butt

When people do burnouts on street tires it makes me lol

Two very important things in drag racing the car needs traction and it needs to go straight sounds so simple but it's not suspension mods and drag radials are a must but I've seen some 2020 vette run 10.90s on stock suspension and tires but this car is a complete different story being rear engine most front engine cars will need a suspension that transfers the weight to the rear tires the more power you have the better the suspension will have to be to use the power or put it to the ground with the least amount of wheel spin on take off without breaking something or bogging the engine it's a fine line to find the sweet spot the more power you get the more difficult it becomes if you have suspension mods and drag radials and it works well you better have a good transmission and rear end these mods will be hard on them

You have that “YOU” part right cause I would full send it I have drove and raced 1000hp corvettes on P1’s basically anything under 100mph you better not even use big very little boost then the top of second and 3rd you can start making some real power. But it is a challenge no doubt.

I used to run my 2009 Mustang on it's original equipment Pirelli P-Zeros, ran 13.10 and 104.47 mph at 5,000 feet elevation in Grand Junction, CO. I don't think that was anything to be ashamed of.... ... would have loved to run some Hoosiers though, but I couldn't afford them at the time....

Learning how to launch would be good too

You know if i had to choose between camaro, challenger or mustang. I really do not think could choose. Granted my pay check says i could not pick one anyway.

Plenty of people race the “hard tire” class, and they do just fine... these people just don’t know how to drive.

The garnet Camaro SS=definition of insanity.

Also, imagine being that orange mustang and getting drug by a Crossfire lol

True you need special tires for drag racing or a good track lol

Man, for an overstaffed track you'd think they'd have the track prepped better. It's like glass out there.

Epic

one of the rules to drag racing (especially on street tires) is NEVER floor it from the dig, you will always spin out, unless you have traction control on.

First time for me to see a Crossfire with drag radials.

im mad as fuck so i clicked this video and the ad was a f1 car so i thought something was gonna happen but then i looked at the bottom right corner and saw "Skip Ad"

Burnout box with street tires= adding water literally throughout the crevasses of the tires. Right before you try and launch. Looks cool, I did it too but better to go around the water.

Drop down that tire pressure lol

My upload today is literally shooting sparks from a 71 Challenger tires...also 69 Charger RT/SE and Firebird getting beat by snowmobiles

I'm sorry I've owned both a C6 and currently own an S550 mustang... this has everything to do with racing on the bottom of the barrel street tires. Neither my P Zeros nor Michelins spun this much dirt cold.

I guess drag racing is like putting on tape where the surface and the adhesive must be compatible.

I ran many times on street tires, it requires skill and practice

I lost brain power at 1:50 with the red Camaro trying to do a burn out

what type of camera is this? feel like im almost there

That Camaro red Camaro sounds so good and mean

Avoid the water when doing your burnout. Shift to reduce torque if your tires start to spin. Feather the throttle.

Thats a whole lotta bald eagles lol.

Gm owners need to learn throttle control damn

This makes me nervous for a street legal race I did a few years back. Took my '06 Mustang GT out with the stock tires. Granted, I never had any problems, and never noticed anyone else having the problems shown in this video. But damn, I'd hate to be taken out by someone who couldn't get any traction, which could have easily have happened.

It's amazing how many people do burnouts on street tires.

Um no, 90% of these guys don't know how to do a fucking burnout and get the water off the tires...

A car trying to compete on street tires in a legit drag race is like an MMA fighter trying to compete against a professional boxer in a boxing match. Yeah, I went there. Edit: Also, 1:38 Turn off the traction control you noob... lol

And A crossfire at the track??. That's A first for me lol.

Takes a little skill…I pull on 22inch street tires everyday….295s in back..265sin front I can sometimes tell by the street if I’ll spin or not…but on a warm-hot day no effort 💨✌️

One things for sure. Muscle cars are back. Goodyear poly glass tires werse on many muscle cars in the 60-70's which todays cars would also shread.

It's not even the fact that they are on street tires. Is the fact that they just floor it and dump the clutch. Stupid drivers. Not tires

It helps to have an idea what you're doing.

Mail man is the winner!!

Did that last Challenger actually hit his brakes?

Street tires in the water box. Tires are still wet between the treads. That and it looks like no ot minimal track prep

I think most of them need a driver mod. My e90 335d makes 378/600tq and I don't spin that much.

that challenger driver thinks he has demon tires on lol

can't wait to drop my motor in my nova by summer and be pulling on cars that just pulled off the lot.

Should’ve skipped the water on the burn out if running street tires😆

Dude in the camaro towards the end has heavyfoot syndrome

Viewer discretion is advised.

word of advice: if you'r tires are spinning, turn traction control on, or if you don't have that feature, ease up on the throttle

You buy sticky rubber to race in. May only get 10000 miles if that from the tires but your shit will be glued to the street 😎

SRT Crossfire is underrated.

4:22 quarter mile times for both were 💩

We drag raced our scat pack and never lost traction

Anyone that knows enough about drag racing knows one thing. Never ever drive thru the water box on street tires!

What is difference between highway road and drag strip? Coz it looks like he's on ice

Did the Dummy engage cruise control?

These guys: “what’s pedaling?”

Track prep??
