I don't know what you mean when you say they have less air in them? Less air than what?

Yes they do run a low tire pressure in rear tyres in drag, because it gives maximum hook and better traction off the line..

Less air than a normal car would have in its tires.

Drag cars have lower tire pressures.

False - A correct drag setup has lower tire pressure in the rear tyres because it give more contact surface between the ground and the tyre hence more grip and a better launch.. This combined with the insane power of a drag car causes crazy tyre deformation..

Compare it it Formula one for example; They don't run a low tyre pressure on the rear and when they get a good grip in the tarmac they will spin the rim inside the tyre instead of the tyre spinning on the road.. They don't do tyre deformation like a drag car (because it has low tyre pressure) ..

Correction in last sentence: They (a formula one car) don't do tyre deformation like a drag car (because it - A DRAG CAR - has low tyre pressure on the rear..

Makes a bit more sence than what i wrote before :)

That's strange. I've been to the drag strip with the old man a few times, a couple years ago, and the people who were driving funny cars and full out dragsters, they had less than 24PSI in the tires.

Captain Obvious to the rescue......

you too

Hope this is better.

Much.

Or else edit the light on the rock.

Sorry. I'm new to this whole... you know, contribution thing. Never commented as an anon.

you dont say

Well to be honest i am a nascar fan BUT i think Infineon and the Glen are two of the best tracks on the circuit. And i always watch when Busch goes to Road America and Montreal. I will be going to the first race at Mid-Ohio for Busch. I think that is one of the best tracks but its kind of that home track thing. I have been into drag racing and i love Muscle. Just the craftsmanship of the golden era of cars amazes me. And nothing beats a Big block, well until you turn lol. But i have wanted to due rallycross. Not that parking lot stuff. Thats nice if you like it but i would rather something a bit more fun and forgiving.

My dream cars right now are a Holden HSV, 65 Pontiac GTO, and a ZL1. A R34 would be nice but illegal here like the holden... and if i had to get a forneign car it would be a M3 E46 or any 90s Honda NSX

i don't know were your getting your info, but i had my tracks removed long ago.

so did he and he didnt turn out so well

oh my god, ASHLEY!!!

I thought it was annie are you ok lol
sorry miss the joke

sorry, it was supposed to seem like i knew the train. shit annie would of been better.

Its ok good sir we tried lol

indeed my good sir

i don't care how much you like it, you are not getting me to race.

God damn it.

Yeah but if you can drive a manual hondas are way more reliable. Lexus only made alittle over 300 LFAs and if you noticed my tag im a GM nut and 150 torque aint enough for RWD. Hell i would take the older k20z3 Si civics over those two.

I'm just not a particular fan of American cars, simply because I like circuit racing, not drag racing. American cars aren't really made to go around corners.
