There are many sciences and crafts that make a successful racer stand head and shoulders above the others, but on the strip, the master is traction. If you can’t grip, it doesn’t matter one bit how much grunt you have. If all you do is spin off of the line, a Saturn with a good driver can put a gap on you before you get your stuff together and start making steam, and that would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it? When you get up into professional racing leagues, the science of the tire itself becomes a priority: do you want it to grip or do you want just enough slip to not break everything between the engine and the asphalt? Do you want the tire to have air or to wrinkle up and grip like a tree frog on a branch? These are legitimate questions that have to be asked and answered before you ever hit the track. Sounds basic, but it’s not.
You are riding under Gary Ingold’s car for this launch sequence, which is slowed down so you can get a good idea of what happens when the lights come down and the loud pedal gets slammed to the floor. You’ll see the shock take the brunt of the load and the Goodyear Eagle drag slick wad up in the search for any tractable surface that the rubber can get a hold of. At the strip, in person, this happens in a blink of an eye. Here, just sit back and enjoy the show!
