@recoilrob32429 күн бұрын
Personally...I wouldn't run modern slicks on an old style dragster like that. They're WAY too sticky which means tire shake...or wheelie WAY down the track. Back in the day the fuel altered's would smoke the hard compound tires for most of the run which is slower but also tends to help keep the front tires down where they can actually have an impact on where the car is going.

I see your point but a proper burn out fast or slow heats the tires and cleans the tracks. Not sure it is as critical as you might think. About 600 things could have caused that wheel hop. I probably would have shut it down way early and ran again.
