Momentum is the real catch here. Strap a 426 Hemi to some 9 inch slicks with a 4 speed and try to catch the ultimate balance between wheelstand and spin.

You are right, in a perfect world the cars would only go forward because they would not need to go up at all to hook. But that would not be any fun would it?
