ps. I even ran tubes on my high 5 second low 6 seconds cars also...just for the pure fact it was less hassle of putting air into them all the time.....my time is worth something...you go and add up all the time you spend placing air in leaky tires and you will find it will be the smartest $50.00/$100.00 one time spend you will ever make in Racing.

I have heard excuses for not running them, heavy rotating weight etc......but thinking back the guys I heard saying this have not ran within 1/2 second of the guys running them....lol
When ever I get the chance Tubes and running as much Air Pressure as you can always is a good thing for stability particulary in heavier cars 2850 +
also the side walls on the higher hp cars start going away at about 20 passes...so the tubes are providing a saftey feature here as well
so I hope I answered your Question...the concern is definatley more in the Tire shake/ stability side of things rather then rotation Weight

So would it be safe to say dragsters go with no tubes???

I don't run tubes anymore. I put two coats of dishwashing liquid inside on the sidewalls and I have fewer problems with air pressure changes during the day at the track. Also in the winter I put 20lbs in them put it on jack stands and they still have air in them 6 months later. Just what works for me. To each his own. Now it's just a coin toss for you. :lol:

Different Animals we are talking about here... the weight difference is the main thing....i would not be as concerned with Slicks in a rail as i would a high hp heavy door car...or a heavier door car in general ...
Juts like tranny's...i seen rails run 1.76 planaterys with stock casings forever running 4.70's in a bracket series....while this same tranny in a heavy door car is on edge every pass which ends up snapping the 1.76 every time

I've never ran tubes in any of my cars, usually if they leak it's one of three things, a leaky valve stem ($2 fix) or seepage which in that case, a $2 dollar bottle of dish soap works wonders or you have a hole in the slick somewhere that needs addressed.....
To whomever, feel free to edit my post at will.
