UOTE=TQ29m;550139]Like I said earlier, any time you can't test something at the track, you're burning daylight, people usually don't like reruns, and will doubt your qualifications.[/QUOTE]
I don't have a dog in the fight. I am not a driver, mechanic or car owner, just a fan who wants to see good racing without controversy.
It would seem to me that all this controversy about doping as well as mandatory tire brands specified by tracks or sanctioning bodies could be done away by with mandating a specific minimum durometer hardness. An official could walk down the line up chute and check it before qualifying, heat races and feature.
Or, tires could checked by the track at sign in and have a sticker applied.
At sign in teams could check their tester against the track's tester so they could check their tires at the shop or when they purchased them.
More suppliers would provide competition that would lower costs and as TQ29 says, it would happen in real time at the track.
