search for it on there, put a puddle in front of each tire, burnout in the vht and roll out 5 feet back into your burnout and launch. This is for drag radials or slicks, not everyday street tires

i've heard of people soaking their tires in VHT. i dont nkow how good it is on the tires tho.

someone did this at our local track...they got kicked out since they applied something to the track, that a track official didn't do


PLUS when they did it, they just spun even worse, the tires were just slippery

anyone used the washerfluid tank to put vht in it...then run the pump line up to the fender wells with the factory sprayers and then use that function for burnouts on the street? i been considering it...

i've heard of people doing that. its quite an ingenious idea actually

it can be done BUT!!! vht needs time to dry,like 5-10 minutes before it can hold .

it'll clog your winshield washer sprayer and the lines/nozzles unless you purge it with copious amounts of water afterwards every time.

At the track I go to there is a guy that has it in a spray bottle. He sprays it on while waiting in line for a run. By the time he gets a run the vht is dry. He hooks pretty good.

I used to roll VHT on my slicks for the slow car. I have 4 rears, so I would tow and warm up with the dry set. Switch to the soaked pair for spraying. Worked great. You can not put in a washer bottle, as said, it will clog. I tried several kinds of bottles. That's why I had to use a paint roller. Unless I was doing something wrong. You would have to cut with ethanol, like some of the tracks do, to keep their sprayers clean. I didn't know about cutting it when I was doing it. So I wasn't able to make it work, at the time.

Forgot to say, I rolled it on the night before.

well i was thinking it would clog it but youd only use it maybe once a wekk and youd have to remember to clean it the next day..but i always see the tracks using their sprayers and i was wondering how they ge theirs clean? they clean it every day?

i really think some sponsers should make this....or something that would work....so guys can use it for track useage of course

look for hot lap tire compound. it is the stuff that most of the dirt track guys around here use. it is also supposed to be undetectable if you race in a class with rules about treating tires.

I will drive around and get some heat in the tires and then give them a vht bath. Then let them sit for at least an hour before driving.
