How are you doing on the strip?

Glad to see you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

Not a problem :D

Nice! Thanks for watching!

How would you launch it if possible

Thanks for watching!

M3 is like $30,000 more

This guy must get 0 pussy.

juck huo if you want to slow your reaction time. Depends on the tires. Fronts I easily can take out 10 pounds. I don't like fronts on mine less than 20. Rear, only take out a few pounds.

Depends on the car and tire. Mine has a tendency to spin, and it's lite in the rear, I dropped to 30lbs and it spins less. Look at the tire from the back, is it touching all the way across the tread? Mostly the middle remove pressure. Cupped up in the middle ... Add. You have to drop 5or10 and see if it goes faster. If you drop too far it'll start going slower.

Thanks guys!

So whats your question? Just sound like a bit of rambling.

Just covering all the possibilities

2 seconds

Well, if it doubles, that could’ve been a 9.8sec 1/4 mile

I LIKE TO COMPLAIN!!!

Why do you think they run wheelie bars for?

Ourlaw, why wheely bars ? hmmm, maybe to stop the car flipping over bcak wards ? reduce the time in the air so to reduce a) aero drag, and b) the time before the front tyres touch again so as to regain steering control. Simple physics says that if you thow a ball up in the air, your input energy is converted to potential energy. When the ball falls, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic as it moves, then to force as you catch it. Energy is never lost. So, when a drag car returns to earth, the lofted potential enegy or the car is converted back to kinetic energy and hence additional forward rotational torque on the tyres as the car rotates forward. Energy is never lost.

Nor Dic 🤦

What ever energy you are producing depending how you apply in drag racing will produce different results. Allowing the car to lift the front end, you are inherently not "losing energy" but more like misusing it to accelerate the car at a unwanted angle which "missuses" more energy at lifting the car then moving it forward. That same energy should be correctly used to accelerate the car at a horizontal angle hence reducing the elapse time during your race. Wheelie Bars have many pros, its main goal however is keeping the car down or angle of elevation at a optimal level so it can use all of its power/energy for forward, not upwards acceleration.

Orbelis: When the car rotates upwards, the some of the rotational torque on the tyres that whould have converted to linear forward force, is being conveted to 'potential' energy against the force of gravity. Much like when you raise your car on a hoist, you have converted the linear force of the hoist to increased potential energy od the mass of the car whilst it is sitting there. You would be come aware of this potential energy shpipd the hoist fail and the car fall on you. When the drag car falls forward back to the track, the faĺling and rotating forward motion of tye car converts this newly added potential energy to additional forward rotational torque on the tyres and hence the car is propelled forward faster. No engine energy is lost overall, some is converted to potential energy to make the wheel stand, and is converted back to forward motive force (the good stuff) when the car falls back to earth. Infact, a wheel stand may help stop the drag car from breaking traction for two reasons; a) some of the excesive torque to temporarily diverted away from the tyres, and b) maximum downward force is applied to the rear tyres.
