Noticed six or seven teams at Charlotte putting baby powder on their tires as they were washing and buffing them. What does that do and i guess it passes a tire test?

Like it was said it acts as a lubricant which enables the grooving iron to slide easier across the tire. I'm sure that it probably could show up in a tire test and if WRG felt the need to ruin your reputation and lable you a cheater they probably could.

I use the baby powder when I buff my tires. I feel like it helps the grinder not to hang on the dry rubber and I feel like it keeps the rubber cooler and doesnt blister the rubber. Personally I dont think the baby powder would show in a tire test because its not liquid and doesnt soak in. When I was kart racing I used windex and it worked really well when buffing tires but I havent been brave enough to put it on late model tires because of testing.

Baby powder has been said to have asbestos in it may want to stay away from that (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)!

There is ongoing litigation about the powder. Many sources of talc are naturally contaminated with asbestos. There are recent reports of powder testing positive.Modern Day Spec Wedge Racing
