My dog was pretty good with thunderstorms and fireworks. We occasionally had to doggie sit for our neighbors though. They had a black lab named Chelsie that was terrified of thunder. We didn’t know this the first time we took care of her.

those cars are usually going fast though or making a very fast/bad driver input. This car spun from a relatively benign maneuver. I would expect an unmodified example of that car to be able to make the lane change.

also, that video was the top google result for “stanced car causes accident.” I hardly spent much time on…

steel plies aren’t very common anymore actually. most tries are made from nylon, polyester, rayon, or kevlar.

Here you go:

Minor criticism: tire sidewalls work in tension, not compression. It’s the top of the tire that’s holding up the car, not the bottom. Same deal with spoked rims on a bicycle.

First of all, the Tire and Rim Association (or ETRTO if you’re in Europe) have design guidelines for rim width, tire dimensions, and loading that manufacturers and installers have to adhere to, and installing them on way too wide rims IS dangerous.

“Stretching” a tire dramatically increases the loads on the ply cords…

Actually you have that backwards. Static and dynamic coefficient of friction both drop if you have higher contact pressure.

Why do you think any crew chief is going to immediately pull a couple PSI out of their race tires if the track is wet? Or drag and off-road cars run such low pressure that they have to use…

EPO helps a lot I hear.
