So our main concern is weight and diameter size?

If the weight on the wheels are the same would the rotating inertia be the same?

Irwindale this coming Thursday. 20 bucks to get in and race your car or 10 bucks just to get in and spectate.

C350 VS LT1 Impala SS. Hopefully I can catch other cars as well and it wont be packed.

Hope to see some of you there.

The quick answer is not necessarily.

Weight is not the sole deciding factor. Where the weight is is much more important. If most of the weight is on the perimiter of the wheel, it takes more effort to get it moving (or to stop it) than if the weight is mostly in the center. I don't know how much sense that makes, but maybe you get the point.

Hey how are those 5 dollar foot longs treating you bro? I heard you eat those 5 dollar foot longs atleast once a day. A good diet ehh? Do you atleast do easy on the sauce? That's what adds to the calories bro!!!

sometimes i can only handle a 6 incher after like a whole week of foot long after foot long. as for the sauce, i can never get enough. makes it all slide down that much easier. the faster i gobble it down, the messier the sauce can get... remember that one time, when we were eating a double ended foot long? ....our first date...

Maybe he found footlongs on another forum

Maybe he is enjoying a foot long with his BF Marco?

Well come to think of it, he did mention Trey was going to come visit him and for some reason he asked me if I still have some Chloroform left from the last time I went to visit Phil (nlpamg)

Both the weight and size contribute to different types of inertia. For rotating bodies there exists both mass moments of inertia AND area moments of inertia.

Got your PM John. Yup, I'm hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow. I just checked 30% chance

By the way guys, I figured out why I felt my car is faster. I break traction more and I think that's what made me feel I solved my low end.

The tires were a placebo effect. I did .1 sec better with my volk wheels. Good news is I took the Impala. One race he got the jump and I reeled him in. I guess his higher torque plays a big role. All I got to say is F the 1/8 mile. I'm not even gonna waste my time with 1/8 miles anymore. Only 1/4 mile..next time maybe fontana (heard it's not great but that's all we have around here).
