Stick or not, you should be getting a lot more mileage out of your tires, particularly on an I/PS entry. I was at 108 runs on my 9x30" M/T Radials when the rear end let loose last weekend... and every 60' was a 1.47x.

On M/T bias plys with my bracket car (low 1.6x 60's), I typically get 300+ runs, and they hook all the way to the cords.

Burnouts are fun, but there's a chance that you're overdoing it. I watched a couple launches at Motor Mile, but admit that I wasn't paying attention to your burnout procedure.
