    It definitely looked weird with how the suspension worked during the little dance. It lifted the rear tire instantly when turning and sams when it returned the other way around. This ain’t the first time the car wants to spin like crazy. What’s up with the rear suspension?

    So let me ask this, Ghia loss traction, on the first run, I can only notice, the front tires are so thin. Yeah ,this has been the standard wheel tire set up for years. However, does anyone remember, you want more rubber on the black top, for more traction ?

    • @fastone371
      @fastone371 День тому +1

      They don't lose traction because of lack of grip in the front, remember, the front of the car is very light while accelerating down track and it just handles the little steering that needs to be done. Some fast cars the left front tire is still a couple inches off the ground at 660 feet. They lose traction because the car spins the rear tires down track, it could be caused by suspension issues, tire issues, poor track prep, etc. One thing I noticed about the Ghia is that there is no tire smoke on the burnout. That is most likely caused by not enough wheel speed on the burnout. It appears that they may be doing the burnout in 2nd gear, they really need to be using high gear for the burnout, you will get instant tire smoke and heat with the added wheel speed. Some people think it wont spin the tires on the burnout in high gear, the rear tires are in water, its not a problem.

      There is a 4 inch difference from starting line to finish line which is about normal for the average dragstrip, the shutdown area is uphill so it creates the illusion the track is downhill.

      The finish line in Vegas is approximately 4.5 inches higher than the starting line. The fuel car guys say it does make a difference in trap speeds.
