After 700 hp on the street it becomes very hard to hook a car. Those guys know how to tune a suspension and yes there traction control helps but they are good, real good.
Last street race I was at 2, 8 second cars, 1/4 mile race, wow they come by fast on the top end.
I know some do not like it but it is impressive to see cars hanging the front tires for 300 feet on the street.

The 405 takes it to a real high level. I do like fast small tire cars better. It's even more impressive.

Chief specifically said in the podcast he does not run traction control.
