Another big point you are missing is that drag slicks give at the sidewall to lessen the shock of translating rotational force into forward motion.
Just look at any drag race for proof. No misguided "advanced physics" needed...
I'd stop while you are way behind...
Ahem... I never said I had the right answer, I merely pointed out somehting that was not mentioned... As for being way behind.. LMAO.. read my post again, and then the ask a Prof,and Bob H's responses.
as far as the force translation... That isn' t the topic at hand, so i didnt feel it relevant.. Yes many things serve more than one purpose... Ie the Holes on your cross drilled rotor that you keep mentioning(aargH the guy who brought that one up on this topic thread anywayshould be shot!! LOL.. he was totally off), they too serve more than one purpose... reduced mass, increased cooling(IE larger surface area to dissapate heat from, venting, making you spend aLOT of money to get new rotors everytime yours warp because most places can't turn a Cross-drilled rotor...LOTSA THINGS)I mean if you want me to go on about EVERThINg a slick does.. I should start with, "keeps rim from contacting the ground" :rolleyes:
ANyways.. good post Bob H... that did it for me...
