I run Hoosiers and have not used a line lock in 15-20 years. A quick hit in Low to get it to 5000-5500, shift to High and drive it out. If the box was too dry and it doesn't want to spin, it doesn't matter. If there's breakage in the pair in front and you sit there for 15 minutes, doesn't matter. Stage and let it rip.
I'm off the transbrake going 1.39-1.41. Getting 200 runs on the tires is not an issue.
