Default How do you launch F1 Supercar tires?

I'm ready for my 2nd set of Supercar tires after an embarassingly low number of miles (~8500), but what the heck, they were GREAT miles. The question is, do these tires work harden rather quickly? That is, after 20+ passes at C5 Bash 1/4 strip with mild burnouts in 2001, would you expect the same tires 1 year later at the same track to hook up rather poorly?

To launch supercar tires, bget a set of 4, put them in a box, and place the box on a rocket ship scheduled to take off in 30 minutes.

But seriously,

Practice, practice, practice

I am not sure why you don't switch to drag tires? F1 SC's were never designed for that purpose although they most certainly have been used that way.
