Oh do you mean the little nipple thingies? Not those...

I just meant the residue left on the surface of the rubber that they use in the molds to remove the tire from the molding machines, it's a lube so they come out more easily.

 

Yah yah yah....the nipple thingies, not the lube for the rubber. This thread is moving into porno territory at this rate.

 

lmfao, this has gone well!

 

Lol

So anyone know if I need just quick short burn outs or do i need to hold them for a bit to heat up these tires? Any advice is awesome

 

Here's one of my burnouts on them, at Milan Dragway in Michigan, great track.

This is about the minimum burnout I'd recommend.

Perfect I love visual aids, nice video btw so your doing that for every burn out or just the first one of the night to warm them up?

 

Equal to that, or larger before every pass.

I do about 10 a night.

I'm making another video with a whole bunch of my passes edited together.

Here's a video from St. Thomas dragway, a terribly prepped track: YouTube - laffs v. aCiD @ St. Thomas (laffs first 13.xx!!!)

I just did a burnout in 1-3 all down the track.

And another burnout with launch vid at St. Thomas: YouTube - Burnout and launch

 

Well I went last night and I wasn't too happy with the whole night. I just couldn't get the car to do what I wanted it to


Couldn't hold my brakestands on the burnout, the wheels would just bog down...
On the line I would spin, was not my A game night

Best time slip of the night: (it was a red light too)
