Is Traction More Important Than Power? – ETCG1
A few weeks ago I posted a video, “How Old Are Your Tires?”. I posted that video because I had recently gone to the drag strip and didn’t do very well. I couldn’t get any traction and therefore had some very pathetic track times.
Since my tires weren’t that old, what was the problem? In this video I talk about what I felt went wrong and how I intend to deal with this issue going forward.
So if you’re looking for faster times at the drag strip, this video may offer some insight that will help you.Intro music by Eric Cook “ETCG1 Intro”.
