The longest patch I ever laid with my R/T was on dry hot pavement which had a tiny bit of dust on top to get the tires started. I'd have to guess on the length since it was all in circles but I did 5 360's before stopping.

I'm hoping to beat this figure when I'm down to the last tread on this set of RSA's since the B&G flash took care of my torque management.

When I had my open diff I layed a single track that was atleast 50'. I had to get out of the throttle to get it to hook up.

On wet pavement, I've gotten the truck to spin through all the gears...I believe I was still spinning at around 60 or 65 MPH

You guys are kidding me right? my F-150 w/ a stock v6 and a manual trany did over 200 yards.

I used to have a picture to prove it. Did it in a Tom Thumb parking lot one night. I'll see if I can find the pictures.

It's all about the gearing anyway. You could lay endless rubber if you really wanted to. It's all just a waste of rubber anyway.
