Actually, on a sticky drag strip, with 14 inch wide ultra-soft slicks, not too hard. They actually spray traction compound (essentially glue) on the whole track, so traction is normally pretty perfect. One notable exception was when the car was new, and I suffered from that problem that can also affect Stratos replicas too - fibreglass doors filling up with water when the car is left out in the rain. On the next hard launch, it found it's way under those slick tyres, and that definitely got my attention! I kept it out of the barrier but it was the snakiest run I ever did. We drilled some drain holes after that...
