I'm surprised at how many people don't realize that in bracket racing you only want to beat the other person by as little as you can at the finish line to insure that you don't break out and a great launch gives you the insurance you need at the finish line

Nitto 555Rs are drag radials as far as I know. They're what I used when I got a 1.81 in my FWD Eclipse.

Do they HOOK UP like crap or grip like monsters, or am I missing something? Also, how are they for AutoX?
