Duster Breaks FAST Small Block Record

I don't think the tire manufactures would approve what is done to those tires.

Interesting, which ones work? I have tried everything under the sun and stopped doing it about 5 years ago because nothing made a difference.

If can find some Formula V traction treatment it works well

No one I know treats the tires, just not effective. If it was, I would do it and there is no reason to hide it.

That's what you meant by treating the tires? Yes, for sure the traction compound and the rubber on the track help out traction............. You are the winner of the day!

Tires that are treated with sticky compounds far from what came stock!!

I read it as treating the tire…

I have run my car at a no prep race. It was fun and funny all at the same time!

The FAST class cars are hooking due to suspension setup / weight distribution/ cam grinds that push the power into higher rpms and softer low ends / timing tricks / tire shaving and many tricks I haven’t even thought of .
Pretty impressive builds!

I was standing at starting line when they ran at Cecil County. Yes track officials sprayed the track down with sticky stuff. Track was continuously cleaned too. When officials saw FAST cars about to stage looked like they sprayed a bit more sticky stuff on track from what I saw.....

 

[furrystump]

Absolutely, track prep is utterly essential! Can’t do it without it. Applying anything to the tire directly? No.

I've walked thru that stuff, it pulled my shoes right off. Very sticky.

I once did a dry hop afert my brnout and quickly realized it wasn’t my tires smoking ! Tires glued themselves to the track and my clutch was cooking …. Urgh
