Anyone experience diff slippage drag racing?
After putting on some BFG slicks for the first time I launched the car and something started to slip. It didn't feel like it was the clutch. I could still drive but I could not spin the tires at all. The next morning the problem was gone. I could spin the street tires. What would cause this? Please HELP!!!

I'd say clutch only because the same happened to me. Of course you should smell the clutch burning. After a few hours of cool down, my clutch was fine for two more passesa nd the ride home and an additional 40,000 miles so far, that's why I stick with the street tires for my 6 speed and bought an automatic for the serious racing.
