You could clearly see more than factory grooves in the LR.

    You are allowed to groove LF, if it's a 1350. That was the exception.

    The WRS55 has a small block pattern. That's all I remember seeing on the 71.

      There you go stirring up BS again. You just can't help it, can you? Do you ever actually go to a race or just post BS on social media? Terry was right about you.

        Oh ok. I didn't see that rule in the comments. Pretty sure #71 had angle cuts. Don't see the video anywhere.

          The WRS55 has angle cuts on that shoulder, that blisters under these conditions, and on the outer 2 rows of full tread.

            It took a week to groove the tires?

            If your racing a lm 1000 is spare change, if its not move on down or stay local.

            If you have the tires go to some other races pretty simple.

              I've never done 30 tires at once. Has to take a while. Hell, I've never seen 30 new tires.

                It’s not really the national touring guys, who generally employ somebody specifically to prep tires that are whining about this. It’s the regional guys who aren’t on six figure budgets each season. They are the drivers of car counts at these events.

                  The dumbest thing ever is managing a tire shortage by making guys buy new tires so they can be ungrooved. Instead of using what they have. Pure stupidity.

                    The local/regional guys already have 40s and 55s in the trailer because that’s what gets run every week out here. I don’t know why it’s so hard comprehend that.

                    If JD, Richards, BShepp have to buy tires. I don’t think anybody feels bad for them.

                      The f' you talking about. How is that stirring up bs by asking what I observed?

                        Are their wrs55 uncut, Husker?

                        And LM40 is not used by Malvern, as you stated above.

                          The SLMR rules don't allow grooving, siping, or needling so if the regional guys are typically running under those rules, then yes the tires they already have are uncut

                            My mistake on the 40s. It’s been along week out here. Lol.

                            55s are uncut, no grooving/siping, or needling is allowed.
