    Re: Video: Camaro Outruns BMW in Insane Swedish Snow Race

    OK, silly question time, maybe Jobergg or Arild can chime in here, but why do they run such narrow tires?

      Narrow tires with all those stude means more pounds per square inch of pressure and better traction.

      Kind of the same reasoning behind truck tires in the winter. Big, wide tires, while great in the mud, suck in the snow because they tend to "float". The narrow tires do a much better job of working in the snow.
      That which you manifest is before you.

        Other than the frigid temperatures associated with this type of racing, that looks fun as hell!

          That's right and as you can see on this picture the tire is only a few inches wide.

            A small correction to the title, it is Bangshift member "Gasfot Sweden" that drives the Camaro.
            Me, Jobergg was the camera man.

                  That's both an oh hell yes, and oh hell no for me. Looks like a blast, but all that white stuff on the ground, nope. Great vid though!

                        It looks like the alignment was done by Marty Feldman!

                        It must take some insane settings to get those front wheels to track straight.

                          Man, the Swedes know stuff we don't. That ROCKS. Makes me want (even more) to build my clapped-out '68 Charger into a race beater.

                              Like the guys at the Merrill Ice Drags found out, narrow tires with screws helps them dig in better.
