This must have been the problem I was having at my last autocross. Coming out of a long slalom into a hairpin i was definitely going from wheelspin to immediate brake. I felt like i had almost no brakes and the car was pushing crazy wide every run. 6th gen SS w/ supercharger and I'm sure it was affected greatly by my failed tire experiment I was running drag radials on the back that were smaller diameter than the fronts.
I was experimenting for a few reasons:
1) Hoping the DRs would give me better traction - fail as they are old and have some dry rot cracks
2) Because they are old and have dry rot cracks i want to burn them off at low speeds and not on a 120mph pass.
3) I'm a HPDE guy so i didn't really care how I did at autocross and didn't want to be burning my rear G3s off for no great reason.
4) Bring on the flaming for running DRs, but I will try it again with new taller ones and I think it still may work. The supercharger needs more tire than the G3s at autocross speeds and the sidewalls can also handle autocross cornering just fine.
