After years of working around dragstrips I am still surprised at the number of cars that are hard to push. Sometimes a car might not start at the scales and has to be pushed out of the way. A racecar should roll easily. The best example of how easy a racecar should roll belongs to our old friend Al Provoast (RIP). Al could push that big heavy station wagon all by himself. While that may not be the issue in this case, everyone should make it a point throughout the year to see how easily your car can roll. If something is causing it to become harder to push by hand, rest assured it has nothing to do with how the engine is running.
