after the burnout ????

JOE B · 06-12-2007, 10:16 PM

i 've noticed the rubber buildup on the 1/4 panels is more on one side then the other . been to 3 diffrent tracks so i don't think its the burn out box ?? the right rear has more buildup then the left rear ??
the same thing with a m/t slick or m/t drag radial . cars is s/s leaf spring..any thoughts ?? thanks joe b.[:-confused2-:]

Have you had the car on four wheel scales?

Does the car pull to the left at launch?

I'd bet your heavier on the right rear vs. left rear. An easy way to tell is have someone watch your burnout from behind. The heavier tire generally will smoke first.
