Smile spin'en the tires

I'm the four Cobra in the video, the yellow one. I have BFG G-Force tires. Good on dry and wet pavement. Great tires for traction. I drop the clutch at 2,000 rpms and use about half the gas pedal in first, second I can go to 3/4 pedal, and after I'm in third I give it full pedal. I control my tire spin with the gas pedal. I don't slip the clutch.

I have a low rpm, high torque motor. At 2200 rpms I have 325 rear wheel torque. Remember this is a 302 small block. I know you big boys have more.

stroking gives you torque, torque spins the rubber.
