color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">As I brainstormed this month&#8217;s tech article, I pondered what our readers might find intriguing or beneficial. One idea that stood out was offering some insights into the world of drag racing, particularly for beginners. Having been through the nerve-wracking experience of learning to race myself, I understand the apprehension and fear that can come with stepping onto the track for the first time. It&#8217;s daunting, to say the least, especially when you&#8217;re faced with crowded lanes and limited time to practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">One invaluable piece of advice I&#8217;d like to impart, whether you&#8217;re a novice or a seasoned racer, is to seek out private testing opportunities. These sessions provide a more controlled and relaxed environment for honing your skills and gaining confidence behind the wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">Over the years, racing Charger and Challenger Hellcats has taught me a few tricks that can significantly improve your drag racing experience. Let&#8217;s dive into some of these techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13); font-weight: bold;\">TIRE PRESSURE<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">First up, tire pressure. I typically max out the pressure in the frontrunner, sticking to the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendation of 40 psi for my Hoosier tires.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> For the rear, the majority of my experience is with a&nbsp;MT radial. Either the Street R or ET Street Radial Pro. I have had the best luck with around 21 psi. On both the Demon and Hellcat I run 21.5 in the rear on a Street R. Once I can get the tire to hook on a decent surface, I will typically change pressure a half a psi at a time and watch the video as well as 60 foot time without changing anything else. These cars are heavy and they tend to wad the tire pretty bad at lower pressures. I know many people will argue 19 or even 17 on this tire on one of these cars but I\u2019d be willing to bet if they watched a slow-motion video of the tire they would see it wads quite a bit.&nbsp;I have personally had the best luck between 20.5 and 21.5 on either of those two tires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px;\">LAUNCH RPM<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif;\">On a stock Hellcat converter and 2.4 IHI I ended up settling at 1250 through extensive testing in the blue car.&nbsp;Once I got pressure dialed in, I spent almost an entire day varying launch rpm. 1250 is what I found delivered the best 60 foot on that setup. On demon\/redeye combos that rpm tends to be 1400. I\u2019ve found the same on my 170.&nbsp;I tried everything from 1000 to 1800 and the car would 60 the best at 1400.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;\">BURNOUT TECHNIQUE<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">First and foremost, when I roll into the box, the first thing I\u2019m looking for is where I want to line up. In a radial car on a radial prepped surface, I\u2019m typically looking for a little bit of shine just left or right of the groove. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I&#8217;ll then roll through the water box lined up with those marks. I do not like to spin the tire over in the box. I&#8217;ve found that&#8217;s not necessary and can often sling water up into the inner fenders that may drop down on the surface or tire later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">If the car has a 3.09 with a 29.5 in tall tire or so, I typically start my burnout in 1<\/span><sup style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">st<\/sup><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"> and shift up into 3<\/span><sup style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">rd<\/sup><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"> to get some wheel speed. You want to get the tire spinning right away with some heavy throttle and then back the throttle down a tad. The differentials in these cars can burn up from just one bad burnout, and whacking the throttle initially to get both tires spinning is the best thing you can do to prevent that. I like to take my driver&#8217;s side mirror and point it at the tire and watch it. Once I see the tire start to smoke a bit, I let off the brake and start easing up on the throttle right until the tire catches rolling out of the box. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">If you want to get a little extra glue, try and keep the car straight and go through the tire lines you had in your mind at the beginning of the burnout through the beams to try and pick up a little bit. Then roll straight back through your tire tracks past the beams and get ready to stage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">STAGING<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Before I go to hit the first beam I like to give everything one last check. Seatbelt on. Face mask shut. Gloves on. Vehicle is in the right mode. Intercooler on. Etc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Once I have everything ready I will nudge up until I hit the first beam and hit the brake hard. You don\u2019t want to accidentally roll into the second beam. Then with my left foot I hold the brake firmly and I stall the vehicle up with my right foot to the desired launch rpm. Do this while still in the first beam. I then use my left foot on the brake to bump myself into the second beam. Just letting up on the brake pedal slightly by bumping it. At that point I&#8217;m already stalled up and ready to launch at any moment. From there, release the brake on the last yellow on a sportsman or as soon as you see yellow on a pro tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">Of course, there&#8217;s much more to drag racing than can be covered in one article. Variables like gear and tire size will influence your approach.

font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; color: #32383E; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.2; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 40px;\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">This month, our team embarked on an exciting two-week testing adventure at Bradenton Motorsports, aiming to fine-tune our setups and push the limits of performance. In the first week, we teamed up with the folks from TNA Motorsports, bringing along a fleet of high-performance vehicles to put through their paces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">Among our lineup was a Durango Hellcat boasting a built stroker motor and a formidable 3.8 Whipple supercharger, along with two Trackhawks equipped with similar setups. However, our enthusiasm was met with a hiccup as all three vehicles experienced rear-end issues during testing. Two of them suffered broken ring gears, while the third encountered a broken housing on the new billet differential. It became apparent that the combination of the 3.8 Whipple and the weight of these vehicles proved to be too much for the stock differential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">Undeterred by the setbacks, we immediately initiated discussions with the company responsible for manufacturing the billet differentials, seeking ways to enhance the design and address the underlying issues. Our goal is to develop a robust solution that will withstand the rigors of drag racing, particularly for vehicles with the kind of torque that these ones produce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">In the following week of testing, our focus shifted to fine-tuning the Demon 170, with the aim of perfecting the tune for the stock setup. Despite facing challenges, including struggles with the 60-foot launch in second gear, we remained committed to pushing the boundaries of performance. Through rigorous testing and meticulous adjustments, we managed to achieve several more 8-second passes, with our best ET clocking in at an impressive 8.94.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">As we continue to refine our setups and explore innovative solutions, one particular area of consideration is the launch strategy. While we&#8217;ve experimented with launching in second gear, we&#8217;re having trouble getting the 60 foot down to what is capable in first. We&#8217;re evaluating the possibility of reverting to a first-gear launch, although past experiences have shown mixed results due to the intense forces involved leading to inconsistent launches and broken driveshafts. If you talk to any 170 owner who has raced their vehicle, most of them have experienced similar issues. We have been able to go quicker to the quarter mile with a slower 60 foot launching in 2nd than a comparable stock 170, all while launching consistently and not breaking. Maybe the slower 60 foot is worth the trade-off?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><br><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\">Despite the challenges encountered during testing, our team remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of performance and overcoming obstacles through innovation and collaboration. Stay tuned as we strive to elevate the capabilities of our vehicles and deliver exceptional performance on and off the track.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <table class=\"layout layout--1-column\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"column column--1 scale stack\" style=\"width: 100%;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"> <table class=\"button button--padding-vertical\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"button_container content-padding-horizontal\" align=\"center\" style=\"padding: 10px 40px;\">    <table class=\"button_content-row\" style=\"border-radius: 10px; width: inherit; border-spacing: 0; background-color: #0e11ff; border: none;\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#0e11ff\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"button_content-cell\" style=\"padding: 10px 40px;\" align=\"center\"> <a class=\"button_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dtracing.com\" data-trackable=\"true\" style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #32383E; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; word-wrap: break-word; text-decoration: none;\">www.DTRacing.com<\/a> <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table>    <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table>   <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <table class=\"layout layout--1-column\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"column column--1 scale stack\" style=\"width: 100%;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><div class=\"spacer\" style=\"line-height: 17px; height: 17px;\">\u200a<\/div><\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <table class=\"layout layout--1-column\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"column column--1 scale stack\" style=\"width: 100%;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"image image--padding-vertical image--mobile-scale image--mobile-center\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"image_container\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-image-content=\"\" class=\"image_content\" width=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/42c65649901\/83003d83-4a69-48e4-9b7d-2e300d88ba69.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;\"> <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <table class=\"layout layout--1-column\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"column column--1 scale stack\" style=\"width: 100%;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"text text--feature text--padding-vertical\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"text_content-cell content-padding-horizontal\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 40px;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><h2 style=\"font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; font-size: 30px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 17, 255);\">Do You Want To Be Featured?<\/span><\/h2><\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody><\/table> <table class=\"layout layout--1-column\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"column column--1 scale stack\" style=\"width: 100%;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"text text--padding-vertical\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"table-layout: fixed;\"> <tbody><tr> <td class=\"text_content-cell content-padding-horizontal\" style=\"text-align: left; font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif; color: #32383E; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.2; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 40px;\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">Want to be featured in our newsletter?
