[QUOTE="ON D BIT, post: 4010089, member: 10422"] i could care less what the norm is. yes i agree with you and have said so, normal drag racers will lose mph when they switch to a stickier tire. this is based on different conditions that are now being presented. also the same can be said from racing a unprepped tracked to racing a prepped track with vht on the exact same tires and car. they will lose trap speed based on inproper launch technique with new conditions. this example has nothing to do with rolling resistance. this is beside the point. rolling resistance can be overcome with proper launch technique. this is all i have ever stated. i believe this is what fourcam is stating as well. with propper launch technique given the individual circumstances at the track one will not lose trap speed regardless of the type of tire. as evidence from ranger and fourcam. most people lose mph because of inpropper technique, not rolling resistance. i am not saying rolling resistance does not play a part in drag racing. all i am saying is that the difference is rolling resistance between a spinning tire a 40lbs and a different tire at 20lbs is not statistically significant to the times, or the speed of the run. track experience: little. i have run a few(less than 50) times and i feel i have a lot to learn behind the wheel, specially at launch. i have been learning about drag racing for the last 5 years, and am positive you have more experience in this realm.
