out of common curiosity why don't you guys take this to PM's or another thread??

 

Because it's relevant to the topic. Do you not think my question was relevant to the competition between Greens and Tony's attempt at driving as well as Roly? I believe it is, and if there is a drastic difference in wheel/tire combo, then it could make all the difference in the world.

 

So you get a response to one of your posts that is in the same vein of your responses to others sometimes and now the whole Warrworld falls apart?

 

yes the question of a different tire being used is a good question, but then arguing about what, if, and when motorcycle tires are being used in PR is ridiculous.
There are probably many factors why Roly runs such great 60ft times, skill, tire, weight of the car, track prep etc etc.
Either way, going back and forth about this on 9sec9 and OKIX's thread is stupid and the questions and comments about the PR runs are purely speculative unless you are there and comment directly.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend

 

not to add to this crap, but that made me

 

Not from what I saw, no. Nothing fell apart. It appears Scorke is not aware they often use motorcycle slicks down in PR.

1slowevo, I'm not arguing about it. Why do I have to be there to comment on it? If that were the case, then we could all say anything we want and follow it with, "you weren't there, so mind your own business." That makes no sense.

The only thing "stupid" about me asking that harmless question was the ensuing 10 posts by you 3 that have not helped at all. Most of the other great times listed in the Drag forum from PR in the last 3-4 months have been with unheard-of 60's that were a result of the new wheel/tire combo that they have developed and mastered. They are to be commended and recognized for such a development, but then it would stand to reason that Tony would have no hope of matching Roly without an equivalent setup. Of course, even with the same setup, there is no guarantee he can match Roly, but the playing field would at least be more level. If for some reason they have suddenly decided NOT to use this same wheel/tire combo like on all the others, then fine, but one of the side effects of using such tires is the loss of trap speed relative to the ET. 10.07 @ 132 indicates this.

If no one cares, then fine. I felt it was tantamount to the entire discussion.

 

WRONG.

He has run mult 1.3-1.4 60's on REAL MT's made for CARS.

That car with the white is one of the few, if any passes he has made in a car equipped with motorcycle tires.

Again Warr I agree its not easy but Roly/that whole gang is running faster with less turbo then anyone on this landmass and they only seem to get quicker.

Scorke

 

Ok, great. I hadn't seen such results before this, and I've been keeping up with every thread. These are the first 1.3s I've seen, and they are high 1.3s. Remember, I am only saying 1.3 - you keep adding 1.4 and 1.5 to the criteria. Before this, I had not seen any without the motorcycle slicks, and in fact, most people didn't even know that's what were being used...not even the others that were watching. They also don't give that type of info when posting times - they just post the time and mph, then we start asking all the questions.

 

Agreed, but this is racing, there is no set of rules for any of these cars we are talking about so there is nothing that is giving either of these cars an "unfair" advantage, just a bunch of guys making small turbos pushing awd cars to the limits of what they are capable of.

Again I understand what your saying but IMHO if your drag racing a car I don't care if its done on snowmobile tracks or Pirelli P-Zeros, your ET is your ET, a faster one is better

Scorke

 

I hear you Warr, sorry if i came off rough with the motorcycles use motorcycle tires, only one of their cars has set times with them AFAIK and have been told, it makes sense though for these green cars to not run slicks as big as the wheels/tires the BR and AMS drag car run because they don't need the grip.

I was unaware of using motorcycle tires but it makes sense, less weight= more power to the ground, if they can hold the weight more power to them, I wouldnt drive one of those on the street though

Scorke

 

actually you are WRONG!! I have been in contact with Oscar aka Raceman and the guys in PR all month and they do run MOTORCYCLE SLICKS.. so before you answer like you know whats going maybe figure out the facts,,

 

Actually they use motorcycle slicks on every car that has run a recent record.. According to my 1st hand knowledge all the cars cutting the 1.3's are running motorcycle slicks.. I have been told 1st hand from the guys in PR and Oscar.. Along with the suspension and psi they are running in the tires which is not my business to share.,., so yes they use motorcycle slicks on CARS know it all..

 

Something else to add, the tire/wheel combo is not the reason for the slow "mph" as was said. It is the reason for the stellar ET's that simply make the MPH look slow. There are multiple reasons for a car to ET like mad with no MPH to go with it.

Would you guys mind getting back to Tom and Tony's topic?

 

+1

 

Get back on topic guys... and no, all the "I'm smarter than you are" does not apply here when it detracts from the original topic. So, I'll warn against ANY final words on the OT as they can be expressed to each other in PMs!!!
