Doug, your ability to go up front with some of the best in the business is going to help a lot of new people to the sport. Well done sir!

Former NHRA Certified Tech Inspector and "Water box" worker here. Spinning the tires in the middle of the puddle slings water throughout your wheel wells and will potentially drip water back onto your tires while staging. I have seen this happen first hand. Just an additional tech tip.

Yeah, I've noticed that alot going to the Dragstrip. I just roll through the water, No tire spinning while in the water, just like you said, water will get up into wheel wells and drip onto tires. Just drive through the water slowly, and about a foot after the water is when i light em up.

Love these tech tip Tuesdays

That was seriously good. Getting the input from three perspectives, from the experts of those parts. That is what I call doing your homework the right way. 10/10!

That Nova is inspiration and so is yours!!! Hopefully one day soon, my 69 Nova will look & run as good as yalls!

I love these simple tech tips.

These tech videos are awesome, thanks

Anytime I learn something it’s a good day , thanks

absolutely brilliant info like alot of your info , thank you for these videos :)

Love these tech tips.

Nice one Doug. Interesting stuff!

good stuff. Thanks Doug

Great vid doug!!

Love this one.

I really like listening to Reds wisdom ! Hes got some great points in some of Doug's videos ! You know what I mean

How about a tech tip about staging procedures, roll out, staggered front wheels etc.....

ive always had a passion for muscle cars mag wheels anything that made a car look like a hotrod catches my attention ive had some beaters that werent as fast as wanted i made em look best i could and tuned a well as i could afford til alcohol took over ive been sober now 13 years have had a couple nice to me trucks right now drive a 2013ram with tuned hemi and a 93 f250 4x4 I recently got a well paying job and buying an 86 mustang off of a good friend who has resstored this car from ground up and made it a nice street rod thats ready for dragstrip if it had slicks it has built sbc 350 that was put together right like rest of the car I jusr watched your video and realized I got some stuff to learn before i go to Bunker Hill drag strip here in north central indiana I`m gonna keep watchin your video`s til I get my mustang chevy and try some things for myself this car does have a roll cage my friend has never timed it but thinks it will do 7 or close to it second eighth that should be plenty fast enough for an ametuer like me thats just now finally chasing his dream I`m 57 years old and running out of time plus I want my 11 year old son to race it also drive it to school and have the fun I didn`t get to have when i was that age it`s not LS either just old skool hotrod

I see so many radial cars burning through the beams, and I thought that was the wrong way to do it, now I know. Thanks Doug love the videos!

It was interesting to hear the tire rep say the radial tire won’t pull up the rubber (defending their product maybe?) and the VP say that it will. As they say, everyone has an opinion.

Great video

Bad ass thank you for all this technology tips I will certainly use them when it’s my time to let go of that clutch and grab some beers I mean gears Ha ha ha Thanks Doug🇺🇸🙏🤙

Great vid thanx

I remember Jason back at Terre Haute drag strip from 20 years ago!

good to know!

That trailer full of tires though!!😂

ahhh...something to start the day of right at work! haha

Just switched from pro bracket radial to ET street radial pro and got the heavy sled chevelle in to the 9's. Launched with 17 lbs in the tires on the foot brake cause the trans-brake was not cooperating.

Support 🇺🇲

You should do a tech tip on when to switch/ benefits of mechanical drive fuel pump vs electric with m1 and/or E85

How bout tech tips on stall converter; we switched from 3200 to 5300 and got the sled to wake up.

What about street driving a radial, non track racer, cruiser type making quick stabs from time to time?

Fuel pump pressures ?

Always learn something every Tuesday. How about tire pressures with radials

you'd think rolling out gets more glue on the tyre to help take the hit

Stuff you don’t know that you don’t know 👀🧐

I got a funny feeling the mickey thompson guy is gonna tell you to do a a bigger burnout than necessary so he can sell you more tires...

Would be awesome if some of those national back ordered tires sitting in that MT trailer got shipped to customers 🤷🏼‍♂️😬

Ain't gotta worry about this stuff Local track is closed for the season Looks like all I get to do stripe up my town's streets this year. Good job Spokane raceway .....twats

Yep, you live in a liberal controlled state like me (CA). All about creating a mindset of fear in people in order to insure dependence on government.

Hate seeing guys spinning the tyres over the start line, it's just not good sportsmanlike behaviour 😡 not only does it potentially mess up your run but it can also screw up everyone after you so just don't do it. It should be seen in the same light as oiling the track. If you do it too many times you get kicked out 😎

I think it’s old school thinking when prep wasn’t very good and you needed to apply rubber for good adhesion (coefficient of friction) for slicks.

Every pro class in NHRA except maybe motorcycle does a burn out across the starting line. If you don't like a kick ass long smokey burn out you likely suffer from low T.

@@wbrettgray6544 I love a long smokey burnout 😎 I guess I am old school because when I started out racing it was unacceptable for people to burnout across the line no matter who they were from top fuel down to sportsman. I guess that lesson stuck and I still find it annoying when someone rips through the beams without lifting.
