burnout curosity - Page 2

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.

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.

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.??
