does anyone have some sort of a tire pressure chart that they use during different weather situations? i know the track plays a huge roll on this but just wondering if any of you guys use something like this to keep track of tire pressure and all the conditions at the track. thank you

 

me and my friends just run the car down the track and see what pressure it grabs the most on....on our slicks it was 8lbs....was perfect for us...

 

alright, thats usually what i do too. i was just wondering if anyone has a chart or something that they keep track of or anything like that. thanks man

 

anyone else?

 

It's in my head, if the track temp is 60, do a 7-sec burn out if the track 70 4-sec burn out if the track is 80 and above do a 2-sec burn out. Now if the track is 40 and below GO HOME lol.

Does how long you do a burn out really play a big role in how the tires hook up? I thought the longer you burn out the better?

Good question because I'm going to the track soon to try my new slicks and would really like to know how long to burn them.

Yes it does, when a track temp is 60 and you do a short burn out by the time you stage the tire temp has droped big time, when the track temp is 70 it wants to hold the heat is the slicks longer.

How long did you do a burn out on that run and what was the track temp.

So John does that mean if it's over 80 that you don't have to do a burn out or do you have to burn but just for a second?

 

Yes when the track is hot and GREASEY, do a short burn out you are just adding to the problem. The best track temp that I see is 70.

Thanks John!!! Can't wait to see what the slicks can do.

 

this is some great info, the only other question i have is, im using mt slicks, how does this info differ with these slicks or does it? thanks all

 

also, how big a role does the barometer play or does it at all?

You would have to ask a M/T dealer, I only no our compounds.

Now to ask on Barometer now you are talking about weather, weather plays a roll on every type of racing Hot, coooold and so on, it all starts @ the engine and you are talking about atmospheric pressure right. If you do not have the good air you do not have the HP to put down to the wheels and the slicks will not do the job.

yeah i was talking about atmospheric pressure. thank you very much sir for all the info. ill try to see what i could find about mt slicks. but your info is something to start on with the mt slicks. thank you again.
