Right on, dude. It's all about the deformation (elasticity) of the rubber compounds. Your freshman physics book usually will not cover this, either. All you're doing with drag slicks is getting more deformation over a larger area.

Other than that, I suggest we stop questioning the drag racing gods and continue to use slicks & skinnies.
