launching
should i be worried about breaking something when running slicks at the drag strip?

i'm particularly concerned with running a sub 1.8 60ft and breaking a motor mount or something.

Engine mounts would be the last thing I'd worry about. I'd be thinking of the gearbox, clutch, uni-joints, diff, axles...

Buy a spare set of axles and take them with you to the track. If you break one, replace it and drive home you pansy.

wheel hop is the enemy. So don't let it hop!

I don't think he'll break anything other than a diff mount at most, but then again, Cartmill does have some rather bad luck.
