This is SO COOL!! I go back to watching Bev Griffiths win the 1st ESPN race and it was can't miss TV from then on. The biggest drawback for Pavement Racing is, IMHO Tires. If a Tire Company would make an AFFORDABLE......REPEATABLE Tire, i believe this could take right off. They CAN do it, It's all about Nylon vs Rayon and the amount of winds inside the casing. I was on the BCRA board for a few years so i know from where I speak. When we opened up our tires to allow A/R's our members went from paying $175 for a hoosier that we could maybe get 3 heat cycles with to a $105 R/R that had minimal drop off for as many as 3 nights. Not blaming hoosier here, whatever Tire Company is "in the house' is gonna ya give junk 'cause you have no other choice. In addition, all tires are NOWHERE near the same. The difference on the Durometer between Hoosiers I purchaced from Norm Rapp and tires that my friend Chris Walker bought from out here was 15 Points!! (75 to 60) They both said MG 7.8 but that's where the similarities ended. I believe the answer for all pavement racing is an open tire rule.
