Slicks

[George C]

Not sure of the reason but I ran slicks and DR's at the SAR meet. With the slicks, I ran two 1.8 60's. With the DR's I ran two 2.15 60's. So...consistent times on both tires, better results with slicks.

My question (in hopes of contributing to this thread) is if DR's are so great, why did they hurt my 60' time?

you setup to run the DRs? right psi and etc make a huge difference. If you have any doubt spend days over on tech for example and see all the cars.


some act like racing a leaf spring vehicle is new

George Im not trying to start anything. But Ive talked to every racer in my area. And around here there are some old carbed cars that will RUN that these older fellows have. I hear one thing from them every time when I talk about my truck. "hope you get it to hook" cars arent as tail light as a truck.

Thats what i was talking about the higher weight percentage over the drive tires = greater traction .so saying that a 200 pound fuel cell over the rear end could have better results then suspention and traction bars .since weight distibution effects traction as much tire or more
