Very similar results to PLstang

But use a 29.5" full slick Hoosier on 15 inch Bogart. Rwhp is around 700-720. Also use a transbrake. May take us a little more horse to turn those larger tires.

Actual pic of the stress on the sidewall at launch. Rims are drilled into rubber to prevent slippage

Hey PLstang

Had to look up "beadlocks". Never heard of that before. Going back friday if weather permits and try that 50 shot again. Think we have the fuel safety cutoff thing sorted now. That's what caused the last try to be aborted right at the end of the pass.

Vid shows rim and tire closeup. Don't think these are beadlocks though.

No these are beadlocks. They are a ring that sit's on top of the rim and hold's the tire bead between it and the rim. Two beadlocked rims will cost you about $1,700.00 from Bogart.

What you have is what I'll be doing next. Self tapping screws from the wheel into the tireand a tube. I'm planning to mark my tire and rim and see if I have any slipage.
