That's actually a physics/math debate. I'm inclined to say this is false. Not trying to spark a debate, because the affect is no minimal it doesn't really matter in this particular application. But in tractor pulling, where even a 1/2 pound of force matters, it would be. This would make a really good debate. If I can find the formula, it wouldn't be a long one, but my calculus is rusty, and I've not been in school for a long time.....
