i heard it is a waste of time to do a massive burnout on street rubber(becoz street tyre rubber doesnt get hot ) and all you should do is a qik burn out to burn off the water at to clean any s**t on the tyres...is this true

i have tried both small and big burnouts, and yes there is bugger all difference in the launch afterwards, so yeah, no real need, in my experience anyway.

i find if you do a big burnout that the tyre gets hot.
i just like to sit there and pop a good skid, the crowd looks at you the next time around, expecting another one. im not sure if it helps for a better launch though.

im pretty sure they covered this in zoom and droping the tyre pressure below 22psi(i think) was also useless

40psi. My auto has no problem with traction off the line. Doing burnouts is always good fun though.

I have thought this too, that more pressure = less resistance. Either way, I don't think you should let your tyres down at all. You don't do it on the street (and if you do, you should grab a mirror), so why do it on the strip? Unless you have a "dedicated" quarter car, what's the point? By doing s**t like that, it's not representative of what your car can do every day so why bother? What ever blows you hair back, I suppose... |

yep i ran my car with 36 psi in the rears, spare wheel in the back along with tools and other assortments. wanted to see what she pulled straight off the street

People take note. This is how it should be done. Respect! |

i'm gonna test both normal and low pressure next time i'm up at willowbank.
i find that a half flat tyre creates alot of drag.

i think there would be a good happy medium between more pressure =less resistance and less pressure=more resistance...with my old silvia it was harder to get a good sixty foot time with out dropping the pressure and traction would improve heaps with less pressure
