| Orange Europe Championship Burn-Out : tire warm-up. Bernst Seminati (Swiss) in a burning procedure. Why so much hate ? I felt down versus him in 1/8th final round for my first race, It wasn't a foregone conclusion. No problem, with this smoke issued from the shock treatment, we are sure tires are on temperature. "HOT" treatment ? |

The Darth Vader before Burn Out. Look at the dimension's difference between front and rear wheels, pressure at front is about 4.5 Kg at rear less than 1 Kg. Low pressure offer more surface in contact with the ground, that meens more "grip". Driving is almost make blindly. Engine and scoop doesn't allow visibility. The dragster is above the water buddle, I will try to skate my tires. |

Let's go !
A slingshot is a little bit more difficult to lead on burn-out than other dragsters, in fact much more weight press down on the wheels. So lost of grip is difficult to realise. |

Pick up the trail. After a good burn-out, rubber is ready for the run. The dragster will be guided by crew to come back on the warmed tracks. The front guide, Joël my brother, who repeats orders from rear guide Christophe*. An ultimate action have to be made by Joël, pull out the chute's split pin and show it to me. At this time that meens : " Good run ! Now you are master on board" *Christophe, have a quick look at the oldsmobile Cutlass F85 (Page other drags) that he prepared for his brother. |
