Infield tires at Portsmouth

Interesting reply. Thanks.


There must be some way to safely hold a small tire in place. Maybe link a long arc of them together with rope or jumbo zip ties.

Why not use ordinary passenger car tires painted white? Still defines the boundary but not nearly as destructive when hit or run over.

Prp used to have small tires painted white and buried where the tire was standing, with less than half exposed. Seemed like a decent deal to me.

The small tires can be just as costly, few years ago watched an oil pan get knocked in two- would have been way cheaper to fix a nose or spindle. Each car has a steering wheel, gas pedal, and brake----maybe the drivers could use these to avoid? Does suck when you get knocked into one though...

Cars are going to spin out or be spun out or hit the corn field in the turns and lose control. Demolishing your car against a 1000lb loader tire shouldn’t be punishment for it.

I'm good at catching 1 twice a year at least and narrowly missing a few. We know they're there just set up corner wrong and boom your looking at one. It's the DRIVER'S job to avoid them, period!

I believe the last DTWC At prp I got to go to the winner started 21st , maybe ?

People love to complain about Portsmouth but they never have a problem packing the house. With the new clay this year I don’t think we’re gonna see a 60 lapper.
