  • I have a question. Whats a top fuel dragster get for gas milage? 90-100 ft/gal? LOL

  • Josermon777- late answer, but wider the tire the better the grip. The larger the diameter the further the car travels per revolution. 

  • All she's saying is before you leave the pit you over pressure the tires. Not until you are about to go up to the waterbox do you set the final tire pressure.

  • I'm sorry, I do not understand the logic in adding air to your tires as the day gets hotter...??? Really? Because last time I checked, as the heat rises, so does your tire pressure. So, wouldn't you want to drop the pressure as the heat rises?

  • why drasters use big tires on the back?
