Thanks for your reply Steve. Well, drag radials never last very long on the street anyway. Even if a spool isn't used. I seem to remember somebody on here mentioning that they broke an axle while driving on the street with a spool. So that's why I brought it up, since it seemed believeable to me. However, I'll admit that I cannot speak from experience on the topic of spools being used on the street.
My old speed shop friend says a spool isn't ideal on the street but he ran his for over 10 years in his 12 second 69 Road Runner without a problem. He said the axles fail because of exceleration and tight turns around corners. He said he always stopped back enough to get some speed up going straight and then turned as wide as possible at a steady speed. He did say though tire wear is unavoidable with a spool.
I vote Detroit truetrac, for true streetability and dragstrip performance.

Ok I run a spool in my car on the street. drive 50 miles one way to the local drag strip race all day and drive it home. got a guy in the club with a 66 lemans with a mini spool beats the snot out of it on the street with a spool no broken parts as of yet. I know a few others local running spools on the street. My personal experiance is corners are slower. yes tire wear is more prevalent but if it is a drag car they wont last that long anyway if you burning them off right? enough said
