    Is it just me?

    Is it just me or does it seem like there's been more flat tires this year then years past, not necessarily whoever's leading just guys running in the top ten thruout a race? I know the surface has alot to do with it an I get that but, just seems like it's way more common anymore, even in features with 50 laps or less. Just thinking to myself an wanted your alls opinions?

    We've noticed that too on the Super Stock circuits we run on the left coast. Tracks we've run for years with track prep and surfaces that seem the same as before and lots more tires for us and our competition giving it up before they should. Not old, not under inflated, no contact, even lost new ones a couple of times during hot laps. Wish we weren't mandated to be on Hoosiers at 90% of the joints and could see if American Racers have the same problem.

      Hoosier tires are very unreliable.

              It would amaze you at what some of the right rears look like after a 100 lap race. A lot of chunks are literally gone. I can see how they don't hold up. Has a lot to do with how they cut on them prior to the race.
