Fairbury Tires

Probably a moisture thing. Damp racing groove protected by the tires that gets unleashed when the tires get hockey puck pushed in.

Exactly. They've been doing / trying it for years.

The regulars reinforce that corner of their car

I am not contesting the wonderful job that goes on at FALS, It's nice to have that gem as a local venue.

I do think there are some valid points about setting the tires at the beginning of the race and if they get moved a bit, it's part of the show. The race between Unzicker and Babb was one heckuva race, two cars side by side duking it out! Why would you change one cars line because a caution came out? Unzicker was decent in the middle but I thought the name of the game was to PROMOTE side by side action, not possibly deter it.
Cars risking their equipment by nudging those tires in under speed is akin to drivers risking their stuff running against the wall, one wrong move and it could be over. They don't make the cushion farther from the wall under caution, why alter the bottom?
I honestly think that by slowly giving the cars the bottom, it helps keep the racing grooves even throughout a race.
As a final thought, if that little patch of dirt on the bottom of the racetrack helps put on the kind of racing we saw Saturday night, don't keep drivers from finding it and working for it, PROMOTE THE HECK OUT OF IT!!!

I know they still take a risk bumping them but most of the regulars have extra strength in that corner of the car to move those tires.

Watched a guy in the hornet class in Peoria tonight flat run over a uke tire and ran like 5 more laps and finished the race. Dude had air coming over it.
