Re: Hard tail dragster problem
Sounds to me like the car is trying to dead hook initially, but because the wheel is spindling so far ahead of the tire due to low tire pressure, it has no choice but to loop the tire after the initial hit. I agree that raising the tire pressure would probably help. Launch rpm and convertor will also affect this situation.

Re: Hard tail dragster problem
I have a race to go to this weekend so we are going to test Friday and see what we can come up with I am going to try a different converter and play with tire press as well. I think I will start at 6.0 LBS and go from there.
Thank all of you that have helped out, Mike Hedger S/C Q/R 4600

Mike-
How did you make out with your tire pressure experimentation? Results??? I have a hard tail also and would be interested in what you came up with. Thanks! -Don |

Don it has rained here every weekend I have had time to go and the ones it has not rained I have been to busy in the shop to do anything but work. I plan to go this Sat. and find out what a little more pressure will do. Mike
