    Michelin super sports lose traction

    Maximus- LOL_hypothetically a steel track and gears should be faster given enuff power. A thousand crew chiefs are trying to solve the quarter mile racing traction problem every day, so my perception as a driver looking over a crew chiefs shoulder is only current theory, certainly not law.

    Good day! my name is Bob.

    I am old and my racing days are over although I still have an interest in this Top Fuel Dragster presently campaigned in Canada by Darkside Racing (you can google that) I suffered 142 fractures in a motorcycle accident 3+ years ago and am still learning to walk although no longer need...

    Good day! my name is Bob.

    people often ask about or mock the plate- I inform them that this is my plate- not the cars plate- I have driven faster than 250 mph and I do realize the corvette is not capable of this velocity-lol the plate was a retirement from racing gift.
