Ford Shelby GT500 Track Testing - Shelby Bolt On Bonanza
|
Before each pass with the drag radials, Smith made sure to do a nice, smoky burnout to not only break in the tires, but clean them off and get them nice and sticky. This aided in securing maximum traction on the starting line, and it dropped our e.t. numbers by 0.017 second over the baseline run. While this may not seem like a big improvement, the 12.36 we ran on the drag radials was in worsening air. Additionally, Smith found it hard to do burnouts because the rear end wanted to hop quite badly. View Related Article
