Drag racing with diffs locked?

Hello list,
I don't want to start another stupid drag racing, my car can beat up your car thread but I've got a question. I'm planning on taking my turbo VW Quantum Syncro to the drags in a few days, maybe a week. Anyway I was wondering if it is safe to launch the car with the center and rear differentials locked? I don't have enough power right now to be concerned with lack of traction, but sometime I might and I'd like to know BEFORE I break something. I know the 016 tranny is capable of handling tons of power, but I don't know exactly how the differentials lock, will I break something locking them and putting lots of power down?
Thanks a lot
Mike
BTW this isn't a drag racing car, don't flame me for that, I just want to go out there and spank all the ricers in their Civics with the big wings and stickers.
