I guess that you didn't see my earlier post about ALWAYS dialing slower than your opponent so that you won't spin your tires.....

That quote you replied to is true, but slower cars have traction challenges too (especially fwd cars), that faster cars don't as well...no spools and posi units in most fwd cars (it's hard enough to steer the darn things w/o power steering, guess I need to eat more Wheaties, lol)! Thus a lot of open differentials (getting both tires to have the same kind of burnout is harder as well), are the primary challenge to our cars.
Finally, "dialing slower than your opponent so that you won't spin your tires"? I don't see how that would help keep your car from spinning its tires...you can change your dial-in all you want to, but if you don't change the car (like letting more air out of your power tires), it won't change a thing (especially in my car). My recent race in San Antonio proved that to me since just a two pound reduction in tire pressure lowered my 60ft et. .06 sec.!
