Tire pressure for street racing??

[Indiefab]

40# in the right rear, 20# in the rest. That will give you some mad burnouts!!


If you're retarded enough to street race, I figure you'll believe that, too.

Yes, the track is the place to race. Not only is street racing dangerous for you and other motorists (and animals if you're out in the boon-docks), but there's another factor to take into consideration. TRACTION - I know I can't hook on the street at all... around here, I start spinning while rolling, in 2nd gear.

Just find a local track and go at it.

I'm an hour and a half away from a track, plus theres always a line so you only get in 1-2 runs per night. Then I have to drive an hour and a half back.

Guess it's better to race on the street with others than be inconvenienced eh?

That is actually a great idea....going way out in the country.
When (and I hope you don't) you crash the ambulance will take that much longer to get to you and save your life.

Thx 98gt...im trying to find an EMT that has a fast car to get quicker attention if anything happens to me. I can invite him to race just for backup.

I ran at the track on nittos and the best pressure for traction is 16-18 IMO. I did run 14 in desperate attempt for traction, but it was worse... I'd run 16 to 18 if you are going to actually drive on it more then .25 miles.

Oh who gives a chit... Im sure hes not stupid enough to race in traffic. I raced another GT today so you know where I stand.

I wasnt 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me'ing cutting off people trying to be like my hero Dom Toretto and Paul walker. We waited till the cars infront of us was a good length ahead. One of them was even curtious enough to move to the slow lane

22lbs I believe.





Eh Street racing is a touchy subject with some people. I raced an SS today so I cant talk much.

me too....the vette went down btw

I lost to the SS by 1-2 cars. Not bad for being stock with no sway bar and spare/jack.

 

[just some guy]

good job, got ya in third eh?

Gonna do a little street racing this weekend. What is the lowest tire pressure u can run on street tires. I've got Yokohama AVS A-100's. Does tire pressure really matter for street racing with this brand tires. Had heard they can be lowered to about 18 lbs. Thanks for your comments

not a good idea to street race. its safer to take it to the track bro. i know street racing can be fun, but its not when you wreck and/or kill yourself or someone else. Not to mention you could get caught be cops and that would SUCK!

He didn't ask if he should street race or not.

He will street race whether you like it or not.
Just like a lot of people will street race wheter you like it or not.

It's really unnecessary for 30 freaking people to say "TAKE IT TO THE TRACK"

I'm with you.

 

[98GtRioRed]

I hope you got the sarcasm in that statement. I guess the hour and a half to the track is better than a life flight and a call to your parents.

 

[Dale Royster]

OK first I'm gonna say take it to the track.
Second street tires need to be at the normal operating pressure to ensure full contact patch with the road.
Do a short burn out and look at the patch it leaves. It should be as wide as the tread face narrower indicates too high pressure with no light spot in the middle indicating low pressure.
Please do not contribute to our insurance rates going up.

Insurance rates go up because they arent regulated. Insurance thieves can take whatever they want from us and you must pay it!

They're semi-regulated but only enough to ensure they can't fix prices.

Take it to the track.

I agree with you though, about people street racing whether we like it or not.
