The DEATH TRAP No Prep WHEELIE

STREET OUTLAWS Racer Chuck Seitsinger – Driver of the 2,000hp capable DEATH TRAP TT Mustang made an appearance to race in the small tire class at the Kansas No Prep at KID. ALL of the cars were having troubles with traction all morning, and then THIS happened… Chuck had loosened up his suspension to account for the slippery surface on a cloudy 60 degree spring day, but it appears his car was too ready for these conditions (likely from his experience running on the street and at many no prep races throughout his racing ‘career’.

  1. As a Ford guy I hate seeing foxbodies with Chevys, but I can't blame the people who do it. The 80's camaros were bricks, and foxbodies are super light.

  2. TO EVERYONE ASKING WHAT A "NO PREP" RACE IS:
       All legit dragstrips have a layer of rubber and tire compound that is melted/bonded to the cement surface. This is what helps drag tires get such a good grip on the surface. On days that the track is open or having a large event, usually earlier in the day, it isn't uncommon to see track workers out "prepping" the track; This usually consists of a worker spreading lye powder on the first 60' of the strip, then grinding the lye into the compound by dragging rubber or old tires across the track with a tractor, then topping it off with a adhesive-like resin that makes rubber very soft, and sticky. This lye and rubber mixture is then bonded to, or 'melted' on the track via a large torch. 
     
      If the track is hosting a "NO PREP", the track officials have done no heating, nor prepared the track for drag use, and the track is "cold" (un-prepped).
     
      The point of a "NO PREP" race is to see who is the better driver, and who has the better tuned car; Because when the track isn't warmed up, tires won't grip the track, causing the suspension to not plant to the ground accordingly, and making the driver have to counter-steer when the car's tires break loose, and have very responsive throttle-control over the vehicle because it is driving on such an unpredictable surface.
