Jack, The way I understand "Tractive Effort" which is eng tor. x RA X tire
correction - friction loss the gears are just as important in LSR as Drag
racing. wmts in most case one is better off sligntly under gearing and then
over revving.. 4 mile race 1 mile trap nearly all cars will go faster if the
are maxed out at the 4 and carry that speed for a mile.. most drivers hate
this.
