>Well, with those bigger rear wheels your car isn't optimized for turns, either. And, I *know* you're not shying away from that!
Im pretty sure I've already stated I would change my wheels if I ever take it out on LimeRock/etc, but for the driving I do the wheels are fine, its not like I built a car to be used as a race car.
I like to have fun with my car, I have zero interest about dragging it that isn't fun to me. I don't need to prove Im faster, if I wanted that title I would have my car set up for whatever style racing I want to do. Instead I have it built for exactly what style driving I do want it for. :P

Well, with those bigger rear wheels your car isn't optimized for turns, either. And, I *know* you're not shying away from that! Well regardless, what's wrong with your 1st gear? What spec transmission are you running? FYI, I'm expecting to launch in 2nd gear, myself. With those tree stump-pulling 4.25 ring & pinion gears my car should also be at a definite disadvantage at the strip.
Just get out there to see what you can do regardlss of how competitive you are! There's always going to be somebody out there who can hand you your arse, right? I just ran my first drag race on Friday night (16.091 in the Subaru) and got spanked each and every time. Well, that's my perspective, anyway. Ish all good...
P.S. Through my rally connections in Ireland I can bring in genuine VW Motorsports 16v gear sets. Maybe you need a taller 1st and 2nd? Just say the word and I can arrange it for ya. (That offer is extended to anybody else, too.)

wasn't built for drags, hell I don't have a 1st gear that is worth a hoot, all I use it for (and this is the way I like it) is to get to 2nd.
any grandmother in a yugo can take me off the line.
