What's the best air pressure for sand dragging in soft sand?

Front and rear? I would think you would want the fronts pumped up so they float across the sand. But how much air. I usually run the recomended 4.5 lbs in my regular tires. And I have no idea what would be better on the rears. I have Sand Skate IIs on a Raptor with CT racing pipe/K&N/Jet kit! What's the best setup for racing in soft sand? I usually don't have a traction problem. It's usually too much traction, and wheelies off the line.
Thanks!

I've run from 3 Lbs to 7 Lbs on my Banshee depending on what the sands like. Lower pressures usually provide more traction. I agree with BillDS650 to put more air in the tires (6-7 Lbs). That will allow you to buzz (spin) the tires more, and so hook-up less. For the fronts I'd run about 5 Lbs maybe 6.

From what I've heard, it is actually better to run lower air pressure in the front in order for them to "float" on top of the sand.
I personally am running 2 1/2 lbs of air pressure in my rear 9-paddle haulers, but I ride a 2-stroke, and don't have a problem getting lots of wheel-spin and getting on top of the sand.
My advice would be to experiment on your own and see what works best for you.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
