Why Drag Racers Rub Their Tires Before the Race #shorts

When preparing for a drag race, you may have seen the crew rubbing the rear tires. This is not just a habit, but an important part of race preparation. Drag race tires are specifically designed to provide maximum traction, or friction, so they can grip the asphalt quite well. But dirt, dust, or small debris can cause the tires to lose their grip. In drag racing, perfect traction is critical, especially at the start. Even the slightest loss of traction can reduce acceleration and speed. By manually cleaning the tires before the start, racers and crews ensure that the tires are fully adhered to the track surface. This gives them an important advantage at the start, where fractions of a second can make all the difference.
