Drag racing tires selection

[tippmann9898]

I've been riding since I was little but now I'm getting into the drag racing scene and I need some advise on which tires are good for it. I'll be runnng in slightly wet dirt. On a 440ex with the works and I just can't hook up it has a lot of torque. Thanks

Suspension set up has a lot to do with hooking up. Make sure that with you sitting on the quad the frame under the footpegs is atleast a half inch lower than the frame at the front where it starts to rake up. Since you don't care about cornering you might be able to sit the back lower than the front even more , maybe about an inch or so.
If you can find someone that has a shorted swingarm, maybe a tt racer. That would help you hook up more too.
