You're not alone!
With my old '69 340 Swinger I was very tempted to rig up something like that over the rear tires using the windshield washer foot-pump bellows...an on-demand burnout water box!
i got one of those doohickeys, its called a line lock
hit the brakes, put on the line lock, let off the brakes, and 400 horsies to the rear have no issue breaking those drag radials loose
