I'm pretty sure that tire doctoring really only helps the USMTS mod series because they all run the same tire that is hard as a brick and glazes over after the first 10 laps. There's a lot better options and a lot less work for late models to cheat, using a tire rotisserie stinks and labor intensive
Finally someone who gets it.....

Gets it? Gets what? You're both dead wrong if you think there isn't huge and worthy advantages in the chemical aspect. It's not all there is by any means but it's worth doing.

You def get it. Remember this, most posters on here are keyboard racers. They wouldn't know where to begin treating tires.Originally posted by RoundNrOUND View PostGets it? Gets what?

As to having all these compounds, they only had 2 at the World: LM20,40....which makes it all the worthwhile to treat them. Treating tires correctly improves traction and reduces wear when done correctly.Lions don't worry about the opinions of sheep.

I just think tire doping should be made legal. Do whatever the he*l you want to the tires as long as they pass a durometer test. It takes all the guesswork and innuendo out of the sport. It would also help the small budget teams way more than it would help the big budget teams.
But it never will be legal. It ain't about the carcinogens or any of that stuff. It's about the tire companies whining that they won't sell nearly as many tires.

Good post Josh!.......Theres something wrong if you're allowed to spend: $45,000 for a complete roller, $50,000 plus for an engine, $7500 for shocks....but....you CAN"T spend $200 for a gallon of prep to improve the total traction capabilities of your racecar. Yet, it improves the racing and reduces tire costs for the local racers!.....SMHOriginally posted by Josh Bayko View PostI just think tire doping should be made legal.

Exactly the same way a no name regional guy comes from Bakersfield California to his first ever world in the 80s and wins it and immediately puts everybody else on notice.Originally posted by dirtdobber45 View PostLike I said in another thread Rumley has engineered a new and improved formula thats why they were one of the last to get there they had to doctor enuf up for the wkend lol like I asked once before how does a regional driver become a superstar(in sum eyes) overnite?
When you ask the question of how, do you mean like that?????Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
