Radial tire question

Not a stick guy but good reading and learning. Back in the 70s I would go to the track with a good friend who had a 64 Vette M/P 277 cu in. They had to spin the tires (14x32) at 10,000 + rpm or it would stand on the bumper. Not too much science in clutches back then. I imagine a dead hook with radials would rattle teeth and pull your eyes back around your head, and very hard on parts.
