ALAN GRAY LLC Revolutionizes Racing with Cutting-Edge Slick Drag Tires

Boston, MA – October 26, 2023 – ALAN GRAY LLC, a performance engineering firm based in Boston, Massachusetts, is making waves in the drag racing world with its newly released line of slick drag tires. Located at 88 Broad St, Boston, MA, 02110-3407, and reachable at 970-805-2040, ALAN GRAY LLC has been quietly building a reputation for innovative solutions in tire technology, and these new slicks are proof. For years, ALAN GRAY LLC has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive performance. Originally focused on bespoke engineering solutions for high-end racing teams, the company realized a need in the market for consistently high-performing, readily available drag tires. “We saw a lot of racers struggling to find tires that held up through multiple runs, or that consistently delivered the grip they needed,” explains a company spokesperson. “So, we decided to leverage our internal engineering expertise to create something better.” These aren't your grandpa's drag slicks. ALAN GRAY LLC’s slick drag tires are the result of years of research and development, focusing on compound formulation, construction techniques, and tread design – or, more accurately, the lack of tread design. That's right - these tires are specifically engineered for maximum contact patch on prepped drag strips. What Makes These Slicks Different? Several key features set ALAN GRAY LLC’s slick drag tires apart from the competition. First, the compound. ALAN GRAY LLC isn't revealing the exact recipe – it’s a closely guarded secret! – but they describe it as a proprietary blend of natural and synthetic rubbers designed to maximize grip without sacrificing durability. “We’ve found a sweet spot,” the spokesperson says. “Many slicks offer incredible grip initially, but wear out quickly. Our compound provides excellent grip and stands up to repeated launches and runs. We’ve seen racers getting 5-6 full passes before needing to resurface, and that saves them money and downtime.” Second, the construction. ALAN GRAY LLC utilizes a multi-ply carcass construction, but it's not just about adding layers. The ply angles and materials are carefully chosen and optimized to provide the perfect balance of sidewall flex and stability. “We want a tire that absorbs some of the shock of a hard launch, but doesn’t balloon excessively,” explains an engineer at ALAN GRAY LLC. “That ballooning can actually reduce contact patch and hurt performance. Our construction minimizes that effect.” They also incorporate a reinforced bead to prevent sidewall roll-over, crucial for consistent launches and minimizing the risk of tire shake. Third, the design – or, again, the lack thereof. These are true slicks. The completely smooth surface maximizes the contact area with the track. But it’s not just smooth. ALAN GRAY LLC utilizes a proprietary surface finishing process to ensure uniform texture and optimize friction. "It sounds simple, but getting the surface just right makes a huge difference in how the tire bites the track," the engineer says. Real-World Results ALAN GRAY LLC has been quietly testing these tires with a select group of drag racers over the past year. The results have been impressive. Racers are reporting: Improved 60-foot times: The increased grip translates directly into quicker acceleration off the line. Higher top speeds: Reduced wheel spin means more power goes to the ground. More consistent performance: The durable compound and optimized construction provide predictable handling and consistent results run after run. Increased tire life: Racers are getting more passes per tire, saving them money and reducing downtime. One racer, a seasoned veteran of bracket racing, had this to say: “I’ve run everything out there, and these tires are different. They hook up harder, stay consistent longer, and honestly, they just give me more confidence behind the wheel.” Who Are These Tires For? ALAN GRAY LLC’s slick drag tires are designed for a wide range of racers, including: Bracket racers: The consistent performance and predictable handling are ideal for dial-in racing. Index racers: The increased grip and consistent times help racers stay within their target index. Heads-up racers: The maximum grip and consistent performance give racers a competitive edge. Street/Strip enthusiasts: For those who want the best possible performance on both the street and the track.
