Whatever happened to the seized right rear tires at the THAT USAC race on Sept 18??

Where they tested?
If so, who tested them?
Was a chain of custody maintained?
What were the test results?
If they weren't tested, then why were they seized in the first place?
What caused the tire seizure to start with???

Lol I'd guess they were placed in a dumpster and then taken to the landfill. If it was the magic elixir to victory everyone would do it, I mean a toddler could spray chemicals on a tire.

The top three in each feature should have a RR tire test, fuel test and motor pumped.

Treating tires is how dirt kart racing is now. The chassis are designed for it now. No place for it in midgets or sprints imho.

Karting is where the prep is most rampant and the karters know the magic mixes for any given scenario. Don't fool yourself prepping is going on with sprint cars and late models and people know it, but they can't seem to get control of it.
