VHT on your tires

Has anybody put VHT on their DRs or ET Streets before going to the track or at the track, if so did it help.

I have ...and it did'nt work for me. :nonod: It really needs to be applied "just before the burnout" for results. Most tracks won't allow you to put any foreign materials on their track..Sorry. I invested in a gallon ...I still have the jug in the garage...Get some E.T.'s.. :yesnod:

I started spraying my DR's with VHT in the staging lanes about 2 years ago. I got my best 60' times that day and I've been doing it ever since. It may have been coincidence but now it's psychological with me. I only spray them when I use N2O. It's not necessary just on the motor.

Re: VHT on your tires (Fuzzy Dice)

Well it is illegal to put anything on your tires at the drags, but that said, straight vht is not the plan unless the track temp is fridged and it's probably still to much. The useual mix for 'normal' track temp is 50% alcahol with the vht. Too high a presentage of vht on a hot track gets downright slipery! Ric

Thanks, I race at an eighth mile track in Holt, Fl. That's about 10 miles west of Crestview and 40 miles east of Pensacola along I-10. The name is Emerald Coast Dragway.
