It can take an hour to cut, sipe, and groove a tire so it won't blister at tracks like Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute.

I am curious if the USAC meeting Monday was well attended? Were the people that threatened to quit the series there?

Aric Gentry Racing is one of the teams who posted they would race elsewhere last weekend due to the controversy.

Larry & I of Aric Gentry Racing have decided to continue to compete with USAC Racing at the conclusion of the meeting last night. Let's hope they do uphold the integrity of the series and address any problems, no matter of a team’s status. Looking forward to being back at the track soon!

Exactly. Mounting tires at the track isn’t fun.

This is not a tire defect. A tire wears out quicker if it is spinning on top of the racetrack because of the excess heat that is being created from it spinning. A tire that is "in" the racetrack will not wear out as fast and will operate at a lower temperature

It’s comical, tuning into that meeting reminds me of tuning into CNN and expecting a real news story

So I’ve seen 2 teams saying that USAC validated there stance. I haven’t seen anyone say that it was invalidated. Am I missing something or are the hater’s just gonna hate?I’m only interested in the truth even if it’s something I don’t want to hear
