Sorry, I'm a dummy. But you already knew that.

Re: burnout curosity
Larry Hill was/is running a Goodyear radial stocker tire that requires very little burnout. And at last count the tires had 170-ish runs on them. There's a thread on them in the tech forum, I believe.

Re: burnout curosity
I have heard people say that. None of my automatic cars ever have. My old 3 speed stick Jr. stock '56 Chevy might pick up 1/2 MPH. The automatic cars have all been quicker if they dead hook.

Re: burnout curosity
It seems like the smaller the engine the more they benefit from wheel speed. Our car is SO MUCH faster/quicker if we get wheel speed. If we dead hook it, it's quite a bit slower.
I would think quite a few other variables would contribute to this as well for each car/setup. HP, gearing, tire size, slip, etc.?? Last edited by boostedf22c; 12-04-2014 at 12:39 PM. |
