Biggest two proplems:
1. Tires
2. Drivig technique </div></div>

I'm not sure tires were quite the handicap that people have made them out to be over the years. At least not by the late 60's when the bigger, low profile tires were coming on the scene. When it comes to launching a high-horse stick car in particular, I'd take a set of F60-15 Polyglas GT's over a set of 225/60-15 Gatorback radials any time.
