Have found when I get really over excited that there as bad as bein ice cold. Is there a fine line between traction & ice when heating these buggars up?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: 1. Automatic transmissions: 1st pass or two, do a fairly hard burnout. After that a light burnout should be sufficient. 2. Standard transmissions: -Stockers- No burnout or short, dry burnout is sufficient. Super Stock or Comp cars- light burnout, haze tires and stage immediately. Generally, tires work better with a light burnout, rather than a hard burnout. This also increases tire life. Note: ET Street™ tires may require a fairly hard burnout on the 1st and 2nd pass to break in. Note: For more information on M/T slicks please consult M/T Tech bulletin # 1.

I think after this next trip if we cant quite crack it I'll look right into that but if I do I'll least go to a descent track otherwise I think it'll be a wasted effort. I know I keep saying how ordinary the track is I'll see if I have video or a pic to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
