That is a ton of growth. Would have liked to seen it with a load.

Me too. Know anyone that has a dyno that can handle those speeds? ;-)

According to the expert on these tires, there is very little difference with or without load at high RPMs. It was interesting seeing his observations of this video and comparing/contrasting it to his testing.
I almost never wake up cranky, I usually just let her sleep in.

The difference is the "wave" in the tire as it comes "off" of its load would be my guess

Not much matters and the rest doesn't matter at all.

I believe Burklands had a machine that could load the tire and did a bunch of testing. Tom may be able to give you more insight as to how what you saw relates to a loaded tire. There are some on this board know how to contact him.

PJ  I think TB may be the dyno test guy Rob refers to.

Yes, you guessed it, that's our expert. Didn't want to mention his name as I know that he likes to keep a low profile.

Tom and Betty didn't keep a low profile when they spoke at the Bonneville NW Reunion.

The tire testing procedure was shown in the presentation.

It's speakers like that who make the banquet informative as well as a hoot.

Check our website        www.bonnevillenwreunion.com

The 2014 speaker will be announced before long.

Plan on attending.

WOW! That was an eye opener! :-o
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Joe Law also used a tire testing machine he made from a Chevy truck with the drive shaft driving one wheel and a second tire that pressed against the driven one .

We took the #496 liner to Greene County Airport yesterday as it was closed down to air traffic.  About 4 times a year they hold the Flashlight Drags there. They can only do this because they do not accept federal money from the FAA. Flashlight Drags are their fundraiser and do very well with it. Anyhow, they let us do a couple of push offs and the #496 did very well. Seemed to be able to pull away from push truck within 300 ft at about 40 mph. This means that we should be well above 100mph by the first set of cones.
Steering and brakes worked well and crew did a fantastic job launching and retrieving it from the trailer. Pictures and videos to come soon.

Here is one of the pics from yesterday, the video is being processed for upload now. As soon as it is done uploading I'll post it up for all to see.

28' of car, 18' of Denali and 36' of trailer = a parade of 82' leaving the starting line!

As the guy holding the camera 2 feet from that spinning tire, I would have to say it was more of a hole closer than an eye opener! :-o
