Re: pro street NHRDA wreck

We have an anual diesel truck race at our track. Along with that they have a dyno race and a sled pull.
Street tires are fine up to a limit. When you start out with over 1000ftlbs of torque the street tires have no chance...even with a NHRA event prepped track.

The problem I have with the NHDRA is they have a different animal of race car. It started out in the dirt and mud and has migrated to a drag strip.

I have to tune my truck to work for different track conditions. Instead of dieles cranking up their Bullydogs to extreme and getting squirley, they could turn it down and hook...but they would rather smoke the hides the length of the track and brag.
