OK Josh... I'm being serious....day race... Hot sun... It's a heat race... And it's the r/r....that tire should fire up fast on its own... And if you did soak it would it last the race?

No saying it did or didn't happen just saying:

Doping tires isn't just about making a tire softer to work quicker, but can be done to make a tire last longer and not fade with heat. All the cars feel off bad after 2 or 3 laps in the prelim features, several could run 15's or 2 or maybe 3 laps, but by the end they were high 16's and low 17's. Next race same thing so isn't the track the RR is fading bad in that distance of races.

Making the RR last longer or give up some early to hold out better in the later stages could be a big advantage.

Little Bobby’s sister might have handled that tire and some of the juice she might be on got on it from her sweaty hands???? Hahaha. Just kidding, y’all put to much effort when someone gets busted. It’s racing and everyone out there is doing something, be it tires, suspension, body or drugs. They all doing something

Can't forget about something if it never happened lol

so your telling me just cause a tire came back hot it had to be soaked an softened? Come on man don't play the who soaks a 20 crap.Just take it an move on man. 20's don't get nailed as much cause there rarely used at the end of the night. But let me ask you this.... What if that 20 had harder sidewalls with less flex aka heat buildup in the tire ....... You think it'd last then? Prolly preform better over the duration of that hot afternoon heat race right? I think he chanced it on a heat thinking he could get it off on a extremely busy double show day at the big E. Nailed em to the wall too lol @you

Is it time that Hoosier certifies that the tires meet the benchmark prior to leaving the factory?

Or is it just time to do away with the stupid tire rule they lobby for and mandate?

Hated the tire rule for years. Should read in the rule book like..

Tires:
1) Round
2) Black

I asked a legit question... I thought coming back hot and soaking were the same... Geeesh

[chupp n bloomer fan]

crazy .......fines and suspension for tires but nothing for skipping drug test sounds like the government making rules as they go

Papers from the hospital were sufficient. Been mentioned at least 20 times.

You could soak a 20 and make it last 5 races.

[Planetzer0]

Pierce and Dunn Benson will split now.

Had no idea

[bradc]

The majority of tire soak is not for softening anymore but like stated getting a longer working tire that don’t get fade during heat cycles

Let's see. Tested 46 tires. One came back hot. Sounds guilty to me. 10 come back hot then there's an issue.
