@michael parris heuberger , bro , are you concerned about potentially not being able to hook up with your estimated 800HP ? I suspect there are riding methods and skills to use to get traction , like I know the other top speed seeking salt riding guys have to do on their bikes .
Mike , are you going to pre heat the tire , for top speed runs , I again guess you will heat up the tire when you are going drag racing on the beast .
When I have watched the great vids of JoeSTi , at an actual event , I do not see a tire warmer setup or even a burnout before run . I wonder if this is down to dependent on weather or some rule ? I also wonder if Joe would run faster with a different tire choice .
