Oh, they’ll test everything....
But they way, take your vehicle, get up to about 60MPH, take foot off the accelerator and hit a speed bump or any other obstacle in the road. Chances are great you will not hear your *engine* rev up or accelerate...But your suspension will hate you.
“Chances are great you will not hear your *engine* rev up or accelerate...”
Yeah, but you mixing apples and door knobs! A Sprint car has no transmission. It’s either hooked up to the wheels, or it ain’t. That fat tire is everything to a Sprint car. It’s your traction, and it’s also your steering. It’s not like your granddad’s Oldsmobile! You unload any engine, and the revs will go up., it’s just not noticeable in a family car, with all sorts of computer controls. In a Sprint car, we’re talking about a powerful engine, hooked up directly to the rear axle. Engine rpms go up when the load is gone. They don’t have to work to pull the load. If your gas pedal got stuck, and you shifted into neutral, your engine will race, and probably blow up under a no load condition!
