Re: Using The Stop Down Track
I was wondering if this could be an option for a small tire or radial tire car to run S/G - S/ST? I was discussing this the other day with the tire guys and the concern of running a stop was the car coming off of the stop and the radial not being able to hold, so I thought the down tack or not take as much RPM away may be a better option. My new car is taking a bit longer than I had hoped so I want to run my small tire car this season instead of having to sit out yet again. Any advise? Car will run high 8.8's as it sits, dont really want to try to stop it enough to run S/St, but thought S/G may be ok. Otherwise I am flat out and hope for a good run every time to try S/C in a small tire door car.

On our 185 mph s/c rail we have the stop come off slow as possible and never have a issue loosing traction. |

Re: Using The Stop Down Track
Tim Nicholson has been doing quite well this season in S/G stopping the top end. A lot of 9.90`s @ 104. I love it!

Re: Using The Stop Down Track
To add to this Chris Garretson just won the VMP D1 Race in Super Comp going 120mph to everyone else 175-185. Try judging 55-65 mph at that speed...not going to happen if they are on the dial.
