I have never hit an infield tire while playing chicken with it. I have hit them when the car in front of me spun and left me no where to go, and when a car came flying across the track, tagged my RF and spun me into one. In both situations, if there was a berm and no infield tire, I would have spun and gone to the back. Instead, the car got torn up. I would rather have a guard rail to bounce off than a uke tire to bring me to a rapid stop. I have also seen the guy playing chicken with the infield tire hit the tire, bounce up a groove, and flip the guy trying to get by on the outside. Now there NEEDS to be an outside wall, there does not NEED to be a tire in the infield.
Sorry I contributed to derailing the topic. I am more interested in seeing water barrels in front of track entrances than removing the tires. They just seem unnecessary.
