Been thinking about your 15-17 gearset recommendation. Watched a few pulls on youtube. One in particular caught my eye. The guy was all over the place spinning tires. He about ran off the track a couple of times and really didn't get that far. After thinking about it, it seems his gearset was too high and a lower gear would give him more control and get him farther down the track. Am I correct in this assumption?

The traction of a tire spinning in dirt should be like a riverboat paddle wheel. A paddle wheel cavitates if you spin it too fast and actually results in a lower speed and less power. A tire should do the same thing in dirt. Or am I having a brain fart.
