and yes you have to go through the damn water..

See, I wonder if thats one reason why they are breaking.

Drag water up to the line and then launch in a bit of water, slip and grab traction HARD on the dry parts of your tires. It usually causes bad wheel hop, but it might be whats doing your guys' axles in.

All you should do on street tires is go around the water box, line up, rev up and side step enough to spin the tires a bit to get all the dirt off of them, then proceed to stage.

That is exactly correct. It is pointless to go through the water with steet tires on.

no there was no wheel hop... not water.. I rolled though the box and gave it a little gas to dry the tires hit about 2500 rpm and bamn they just snapped...
no clutch drop.. no hope .. just broke

never mind... I'm not bothering tryin to explain ****.
