The only reason I brought up the tire prep deal is because I think we all know..........it is probably being utilized by a few. Maybe a hell of a lot more than a "few." But the way I look at it, even if you have a spec tire rule..........durometer check is a must unless you have an "open tire" rule. Just because a racer has a tire that says it's one thing.......it might durometer something completely different due to treatments. To be honest......our group back this way runs an open tire. Couldn't get Hoosier or American Racer to kick in enough to make it worth mandating their tire. Plus.....we haven't seen any big advantage since everyone is either running a Hoosier 12, 15, SP2 or American Racer 33 or 38. Quite a few of our guys have went the American Racer route simply due to price. Anyway.........seems a durometer reading as you COME OFF the track would solve some of the tire issues??? However.......I realize some groups depend on a tire manufacturer supporting them financially in some way.
