But to say you will have no traction and that the car will be undriveable is 100% false. How do I know this? Beacuse I do it!

Greg Schroeder does it on a prepped track with ET STREETS. Have you tried driving around on aired up ET streets...on the street with no heat? They suck. There is NO traction with them. Heated and aired down, great. Otherwise, no. And don't even attempt any turning on them.

We are not saying the car will be "undriveable'. We ARE saying that any gas given in first gear is a waste. You are really sitting here telling me that with 450rwtq (and it's funny to think that 450rwtq isn't even that much), in your go kart of a car, you can come off idle on the street (or from a roll in 1st), nail it, and not spin?

I just, well, I really just don't know what to say or how to even respond to you. Congrats I guess. It's really an amazing accomplishment.
