Re: How do i get a radial slick to hook on a marginal track
I wouldn't run a bias slick if they paid me to.
I run Hoosier 9" radials on a 10" wheel. Burnout is extremely minimal. I do not use a line lock. Low gear just to get them spinning, then shift to high.
Weight in the trunk is definitely good. I think I have a couple hundred pounds back there.
I run 17 psi but, honestly, it is only for even wear with my combo. I've been from 16 - 26 and have never seen a difference in performance. Half the time I don't even check them once I've made a couple passes.
It did take some work initially once I got some decent HP. You'll want to make sure the front end moves freely.
I've never counted passes, but I'm sure I get 150 on the Hoosier C07 tire.
Stick with them and you will be better for it! I love hearing others complain about a tricky track. As long as I don't go up in smoke, I know my 60' time will be within .01 of the previous run.
