Just wondering if anyone has tried this?A local guy loaded all four tires in a stock gasser class and finished way better than he should have.I'm sure this has been done before but this is the first time I heard of it.

Fill 'em up with liquid or like the farm tractors, calcium chloride slurry.

Interesting thought, but I think you might start bouncing around a bit when wheel speed got up there.

Used to drive an IH M with loaded tires. On the paved road in 5th it was a pretty interesting ride once the CACL got to sloshing around.

I guess you'd have to fill them totally full....ok maybe a little bubble of air.

Can you imagine what would happen if you had 'em 1/3 full and crossed the speed where the whole slug of water started rotating?

I dont think they would be drivable at all on the road.But it would be unsprung weight on the track as long as the calcium didnt "slosh".
