Dragging tail on the highway

I've been scraping on the highway lately on my titanium round bar, fun as hell but I can't get real comfortable with it. I can only touch it for a second though because it gets so violent and unstable.
Any tips or experiences with this?

do you all pull in the clutch when you do a high speed park?

u have no idea what ur talkin about.


i can scrape a round bar just as far if not further than a flat... i actually think it scrapes a shitload smoother.

u just gotta stay on the brake as you're scraping to keep everything nice and smooth... if you let off the brake ur gonna go for a ride to the pavement.

highway scrapes.... i don't like to go there, i'm too old 4 that **** lol.

can you even scrape calamari? have you ever had a round bar? do your self a favor and read the opening post in this thread --------> https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/2-s...quid-read.html



round bars are the most forgiving because you dont have to scrape perfectly flat to keep from eating ****.

Re: Dragging tail on the highway

For everyone here who wants a new *** to rip on....read the thread...He's talking about "dragging" the tail for a distance...I know for a fact that scraping a round bar is better because I switched from 905 fish gutting 12 bar to a S.I round bar. So read before you rip people..
