Burnout

<< < (4/5) > >>

GlennLever:
Your right, new tire technology and good track prep means a smoky burn out is not needed,

They are fun.

I do not think they are that hard on the equipment, you are just cracking the throttle, tires are spinning because of low traction.

I generally just go to the tree (before the tires grab) and get out of it, but then do not brake very hard and end up a ways out.

I back quickly, and generally turn the first bulb on first.

Smoky burn outs are not needed but sure look good in a pic

Or in color

notice on pauls burn-out the effect of matching wheel width to tire width and how the tire crowns and the center heats more than the outside edges. If the rim was 10" wide and the tire 12" tread, the sidewalls would be square to the rim and the tire surface flat across getting an even wear and heat.

As always, do what works best for you and your set-up

Paul New:
So should I be running a narrower wheel than what the tire manufacturer states? I have always just used what they recommended 

hemidakota:
A temp gun across slick after burnout would tell you I would think
