Yes,, my mother talked about that but as usual, I didn't listen then either. Now I understand.

Hawkwind......If you are monogamous and your lady is on the pill you don't have to use a conundrum.
If you do use them, don't throw them out the window. The ducks choke on them.

Don't listen to Glen.
The choke part makes the ducks easier to catch.

Interesting concept.  I wonder if anyone has tried it on the salt.  While on the topic of traction....

Which is better for high 200 mph speeds....  the 4.5" wide tires, or the 9" wide tires.  If heard to schools of thought.  I'd like to hear yours.

The tire size and width etc. is totally dependant upon the vehicle. Front wheel drive, rear wheel drive , weight, hp, and the whole vehicle. We have tried different combinations and some worked well and others were a complete disaster. My point is that a tire that works with one car may not work with another, speed is not the criteria.

Consider the direction the contact patch is going ubder load and with a lot of other things going for you also , it will tell you the direction you can expect it to work the best.

From a pure traction viewpoint siping might work. The cuts allow the rubber to "creep" and grab better. From a speed standpoint the cuts might make the tire come apart. There's nothing to keep you from experimenting with siping, grooving, soft compounds, you name it.
It might get you a record.
It might land you in the hospital.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.
