Trailer Tires Overheating.
"Rod McInnis" wrote in message ... "basskisser" wrote in message om... They actually use brakes as opposed to letting off the throttle, trying to keep the enginer RPM's up. It takes forever to get those restictor plate engines back up to speed. Can you explain that statement? Unless your referring to the go karts you rent at the amusment center I don't understand how you can maintain engine RPMs and slow the car down. Automatic transmission?? Hmmmm..... Seen it on off road cars, I wasn't aware of it being very common on any sort of track or pavement vehicles. Without some sort of a slip clutch or torque converter, the engine RPM is going to be directly related to the velocity of the car. Rod He is confused. Brakes are noy used at the 2 NASCAR restrictor plate tracks (Daytona & Talladega). They simply run wide open through the turns on these tracks since there is enough banking (30 degrees) that they do not have to back off at all. |
