Those tires look like they went a hundred miles at Langhorne. When are the racers going to get together and put a stop to such BS. Trust me, there are compounds that won't do that but Hoosier has em suckered. The promoter obviously doesn't know what he is doing on track prep either. Rubber down racing ends up looking just like winged racing. I wouldn't spend a dime on it. Too bad though for the racers and fans who did. I hope it gets better tomorrow and the video feed is problem free.

What did it do to the Left Rear?

What size of crowd turned out?

I think Hoosier did a good job with the tires. Nearly everyone completely wore out the rears but there was not a single blown tire. Try that with Goodyear. Hopefully someone will steal Bubba's sheeps foot while someone else digs it up and puts some water beneath the surface for the next shows.

This is a bunch of S--T, I thought they only weighed the 1st 3. Thats all USAC knows how to do, They aren't smart enough to check engines, fuel, or traction control. Bunch of KIDS!!

Im having a great time The racing is good and the weather was awesome,
78 at race time shot in a tshirt, I love it. Night two coming up.

Lefts were about equally bald. Its not the ht2 it's the sandy track that's packed harder than concrete with the shape of the track requiring you to be sideways with a lot of wheel spin. Dt3s would have blistered like crazy early in the night probably much worse than the ht2. Then it would have laid rubber and they would be just as bald. bring these tires back to indiana and you will see much much better results. All you dt3 supporters have never seen a dt3 at say oskaloosa where every single block is blistered after hot laps and each heat race and would only last half the feature.

Correct - everything I have heard is - it's not the tire (at least not in this instance) it's the track...or at least the way the track was for night 1.
