No beadlocks here. As you can see the shrink Wall is doing its job. I'm asking a lot of this tire in this pass. But it never spun off the rim. I know it's not a street-legal hookup or anything. But it's still chose that you can dump a clutch and I worry about the bead breaking from the rim...
Thanks for saying that. It's nice to hear...
If this was sent you in a private message I apologize. I know how to drag race but I don't know how to use computersI guess this was sent to me in a private messages. I didn't see it in the forum. I would like to share it with everyone...
@Motonutz916 you clesrly have no idea what you're talking about, please stop spreading inaccurate information before you get somebody hurt.
Regarding tire pressure, you want as much as you can in both tires. For the front run the recommended pressure, for the rear start with the recommended pressure and if it spins, reduce it a lb at a time until it hooks. Higher pressure means less rolling resistance, which in turn means quicker ETs.
So I guess I've been wrong the 35+ years I've been doing this. Never to old to learn something.

Not sure what happened there. But I'm pretty sure we got off the subject of a cut down seat somewhere along the way...
I don't know how to cut and paste. but Google check 'do top fuel dragsters use wheeliebars'?' "in any given pass, the wheelie bars may not even touch the ground"
"but it still shows that you can dump the clutch and not worry about the bead breaking off the rim"
holy cow I just read your thread everything you said that's right his wrong you've been doing it for 35 years everything you said in that statement is completely wrong you're the one spreading bad information that's going to get someone hurt. Or at least not making proper pass wow man wow you that's I don't know what to sayI guess this was sent to me in a private messages. I didn't see it in the forum.

Look at her drag Tire. It's 1 and 3/4 in. Minimal resistance. on a street bike tire you should go at least 10 lb over on a shinko hook up 12 to 13 lb on a drag slick 9 lb depending on the weather...
Ummmm......what?
What's up with this thread it's gone completely screw you man I can't reply properly I don't know what's going to show up when I push post
Okay eliminate the seat completely. The first picture shows a catalyst 16 over. that's that little front seat is what you sit on you have to fabricate a bar to put underneath it in front of the battery so it doesn't break some people put a half inch of foam for comfort but you only sitting on the bike for 8 seconds so who cares. the picture of the drag bike shows how low the seat is 4 inches lower than a stock bike. sitting on it just sitting on it you can realize how nimble it is even though it's a hundred pounds lighter you can feel the centre of gravity is much different!
That is very true. The bar may not touch the ground on some passes. That's because of how the onboard computer applies the clutch and power to the wheels. Nothing to do with the front axle being rigid. And if the setup is wrong. They can hit the bar so hard it will break the tires loose. Again nothing to do with the front axle. If you look at the NHRA rule book it is mandatory to have a bar on a Top Fuel Dragster. There a reason for that.
There's buddy you know a a little about alot but you know nothing about me!
(not you!)
