          Tire slippage was a major problem on every run with the ( too ) 
wide 
Goodyear Talladegas on the Black Radon Engineering blown fuel altered .
          Torque output and the downforce at the rear tire contact area
( "patch", footprint ) seem to be pretty much the deciding concerns in 
whether the car gets hooked up or not ...... salt conditions and judicious
use of the throttle are two additional factors that cannot be built into any 
car
....... they are the variable factors that also play into the overall picture 
.
          Some things in the real world of speed appear to be easy on their 
surface ( pun intended ) ......
                        Doing it is another story .
