Thanks for updates ssu

[kidkart15]

Birky blow a tire too?

You remember when birkhofer use to be competitive? Can anyone name someone that is competitive running a black diamond chassis ?

[dirt33]

What would you guys estimate in terms of the % of features that the 15B has finished over the last 2-3 years? Does 10% sound about right?

[intel8]

Great race, awesome track prep! Probably the best race I've seen at Farley in many years. Simon's got this place in the right direction.

It really did. I'll admit I was pretty skeptical.

I'll have Megadeth and Dream Theater to accompany me this fine evening. Probably some Iron Maiden as well. Pandora and YouTube Music are nice.

[Mud Packer]

Thanks for the updates Shiny.

[BirkyTime15B]

That was ridiculous. The track and facility looked awesome on TV. Why so many blown tires in the feature?! Something in the surface?

[NeedforLMspeed]

Same thing last year

[Speedee1]

I have to think it the higher HP and tire compounds. The weekly Late Model do not have that problem.

[mcarter815]

That track surface is half rocks. Fun place to race at, but hard on tires.

[fryefan]

There were several flat tires (approximately 10) all on the same lap. Those were caused by debris on the track that they removed during the yellow. Some others were probably tire wear.

[Highside Hustler25]

As early as some of those flats were, I doubt it was tire wear.
