I'm not saying that locking up the front wheels doesnt happen, I've done it but not on purpose, it was more track conditions...but the guys who do it on a regular basis and brake slam with no regard to safety, I have no respect for, regardless of what they have won or not won, and I dont care if they have 50 Wallys...

I agree with Dave, doing that is a total disregard for safety. I've seen this happen too many times. Several times with very serious results. Is it really worth it????

Has anyone ask sherman if he hit the brakes that hard to smoke the tires get the facts before you make comments keyboard racers. He told me his vaccum pump tank was full and overflowed onto the chassis and got loose.

This is racing fellas! If you plan on winning consistently in super categories you had better have that brake pedal tuned up tight.
Just be glad It was the fronts only. When the back tires get involved it gets interesting.

Sounds like you have first hand experience Clint!

Never had the rears lock up, flat spotted a few sets of front tires though. Not to say I'm proud of my finish line tactics at times but you know how it is in the heat of moment!
