Re: What is the best way to prep a drag strip
1- Don't listen to the complainers. When watching cars leave starting line day in and day out the whiners are the ones that don't have a clue on setting a car up. At least in the bracket level.
2- Over powered and under tire makes it nearly impossible to keep a great starting line all day.
3- Have the driver put more ignition retard on launch.
4- Changing percentage of glue or methanol for high and low temp doesn't seem to do a whole lot.
5- Clean track well before dragging and spraying glue. Put glue done like painting a house (total coverage)not like misting in the air and see what hits the ground.
6- If any of these don't work then revert back to 1
Sorry Don I couldn't resist. WHP employees asked 2 Saturdays ago for help when I was out and the info I gave them along time ago they never tried. So I gave up and had nothing to offer I just agreed to their ideas on what to try. Im no expert but have some experience and learned a lot.
