Bobby Pierce Suspended for tire infraction at Volusia.

[stock car driver]

I dont follow this stuff but saw a interview on fb.

They tested 67 tires at V and 3 failed and they tested the B sample of each of those 3 which also failed, he claimed..

So transference, bla bla bla is out.

Occams Razor.

You may be right…

I don’t put much stock in these tire infractions penalties no matter who it is. Never have since day one, including the tire sniffer days. Mostly because the non-transparency when it comes to what was “wrong” with said tire. Any said tire “alteration” infraction penalty should be public knowledge in my opinion. And I don’t believe for one minute that one “benchmark” puck holds true for a “batch” of tires, that’s hogwash if you ask me.

Occam's razor, yep!!!

Honestly, I don’t believe said tire manufacture has a benchmark puck for every batch of tires made, for those numerous series that check the legality of said tires. Do you realize how many batches and pucks that would be for every tire, every compound, every series that check the legality of said tires. I don’t believe for one minute that a “lab facility” has that much warehouse storage space for benchmark pucks.

Maybe a data benchmark set of chemistry figures for that specific compound, noting those data benchmark set of chemistry figures shouldn’t change from one batch to another.

Also noting said “lab facility” also checks the legality of, fuel, oil, and tires. Benchmark warehouse storage space for samples for all of these? I call BS.

Nonetheless, its all poppyc0ck.

Looks like Bobby's mommy removed her posts off of Facebook. Lol

That’s a shocker!!!

who was the vendor selling the tire dope at the dome? seems kinda odd

I try to be careful when I add racing gas to my race car , but I have had the funnel slip out of the fuel cell , The result was the racing fuel ran through my rear deck lid and drenched my right rear tire . I tried to wipe the tire down as well as I could but I could not clean the gas out of the thread on the tire. With all the chemicals in racing gas , I bet my right rear tire would have failed the lab tests. As Bobby Pierce said , maybe he was innocent of using chemicals on his tire. Maybe racing gas actually spilled on his tire during refueling.

That’s every bit as plausible as anything else floating around…..none of it really believable though.
Reference the 20k Scott Autry incident…..everyone makes mistakes.

Barbecueboy,

Plausible? Sure! Realistically? No! I realistically don’t believe its said tire failing some benchmark testing at some lab. I think the entire (from point A to point Z) testing process is flawed from a scientific standpoint. And again, NO ONE gets any transparency in the process of alteration, none at all, never.

Why did my tire fail? And why? NEVER gets answered.

That would not absorb into the tire and be there after it heats up. Dope is a job to use, spray, wrap let sit, repeat.

Fuel won't absorb into rubber? Lol whatever.

Lurker,

We don't know the pass/fail criteria or the reason they failed. It's also not owed to the general public. I'm sure every batch isn't 100% the same, but they may get double the leeway to make up for it. The type of test used flags compounds that don't belong. They are not getting popped for having 49% mass of a compound instead of 45%.

I know your a idiot but I said it wont be there after a heat cycle. It wont absorb in just from spilling it to a depth to be there AFTER a race.

[Highside Hustler25]

I'm not gonna be name caller, lol but I have to disagree with your assessment.
