You need to turn off traction control the entire time.

Not doing that... Until I get drag radials

Kennedale is a pretty shitty prepped track.

Did you do burnouts Nic? Need to warm up the tires a little.

Damn bro, right in the nuts.

You don't want to do a "burnout" on a street radial. Just a quick clutch dump to get a little warmth on them. They're not the right compound for doing a sustained burnout, that will not help traction.

Oh. Well you saved me from doing so. I figure any warming of the tire would help. Thanks for that, Eric.

Agreed. A doing a burnout on a radial is pointless. They aren't soft enough to do anything with the heat, the sidewalls don't give at all etc. In fact, a lot of times it makes it worse by making them feel greasy.

Racing on a radial is dicey. You have to find a sweet spot in the clutch and what rate to squeeze the go pedal. By squeeze, I mean just that. Don't stomp it, don't feather it because that will just induce more wheel spin. Definetly don't powershift on radials unless you want to find yourself in the wall on a cold night. lol.

LULZ

You can definitely tell though the mods he has done pull like a raped ape up top. He might trap mid 12s in a 1/4 only because of how high he can spin that motor now.

Just dumped the clutch in first quick. Tire pressure left the same, had to drive through the water no where else to go. I have a video from Derek's go pro ill upload tomorrow

My suspension is not setup for drag either

Really, there was nowhere to drive around the water box?
