Obviously you missed the part in my post where I said he uses tires designed not to heat up quickly (like a normal drag slick). If his tires got hot and sticky within a couple of seconds, how long do you think they would stay sticky while hauling ass around a road course? Thats why road course cars use tire warmers whereas you very rarely see them on drag cars. The tires take forever to come up to temp, but are more stable once there.
