just curious what you guys thought, iv got a bottle of VHT and a new set of BFG street tires on my stock 17s...iv got a race against a Camaro that id really like to beat lol...how would be the best way to go along using the VHT? Iv heard its not ment for street tires but works just the same...thought id ask the pros :beer:

I'm assuming you're racing on the street... I would use a small amount in your burnout and don't do a very big burnout as it will make the tires greasy. Just enough to see a little smoke. JMO of course.

do a normal burnout, then put a small puddle in front of tire, drive into it, do a really small burnout "basically wearing the liquid VHT off your tires" untill you feel it hook.. MOVE CAR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, then race.. gotta keep tires and track clean after getting that stuff on them.. and it stick to EVERYTHING including fingers, but works awesome

thanks guys...we usually keep the street pretty clean...well at least for the first 100 feet or so lol we broom it off and since we race there all the time theres a decent ammount of rubber already there

VHT was designed for Street tires, and to be used on the street or at the track. I was told when I bought my ET Streets to not use them on there.
