I'ts called self-control. I race with a few buddies on the street evey once in a while. We all have cars in the 11.0 to 12.0 range and NOBODY hooks on the street. I leave just off idle and roll on the throttle. The trick is to get the car rolling a little before hitting w.o.t. Also a little VHT in a spray bottle helps. Just be sure to spray it on and then drive a 1/2 mile or so. I also warm the tires by driving on them. Burnouts on asphalt will chew up the slicks fast! P.S. I keep the VHT in a tire dressing bottle so nobody asks any questions, He HE
