    I think Oldfart50 is right if you gave out all these suspensions, there would be nobody left to race, They will be lucky to get enough cars to race before someone is suspended.

        I like Oldfart50s post (I like run what you brung) and it started me thinking since I never soaked a tire, lets hear a list of safe tire coumpounds and the maybe deadly ones that have been tried. Leonard

          I have never treated a tire, but I am pretty sure some of the cars I have wrenched on have taken years off my life.

            When i was kart racing I treated all my tires, but then I learned how bad ALL that stuff is for you. The last 2 seasons I kart raced I just bought all the compounds I needed and did nothing but clean the tires and keep them out of the sun and weather. I ran better and was doing less work. The part about treating not effecting the life of the tire is hogwash, it shortens the tires life and the treater. TC I'm not for, but I don't fear it either, it really only helps non-drivers and lazy chassis tuners be a little more consistent not necessarily faster. I like an open tire rule, but you've gotta race what you qualify on or maybe change a RR or something like that. I do not believe near as many racers are currently treating tires as some theorize. Liars never believe anyone else and cheaters tell themselves everyone else is doing it too so they'll feel ok about it.

              Creasote, the black stuff they put on telephone poles, thinned out with lacquer thinner (highly carcinogenic) is the best i ever used. .5 tenths a lap on a dirt oval in a Kart back then. Oddly enough PB Blaster is good, the pentrant stuff, works pretty well. Simple green works well to clean tires and keeps them tacky.

              Now days they have stuff made, goat pee ones is called LOL. If you ever want to see how bad tires can get, on a smaller scale, just go to a kart race (Dirt oval) them guys are crazy. They will take a new tire, and put it on a machine to tru it down, or cut it down, sand etc, right down to the cords. Treat it with goat pee, and then run em. There only good for 2 runs, and its about a second a lap faster, but costs you $250 bucks a crack or so. Its flat out crazy.

              Just say no...

                      Since we've gone insane, I remember reading about a track out west that leveled the playing field by making their racers run the hardest ASPHALT tire made(economy tire they called it, $69.00) on the right rear. Grooving allowed, no siping. Seems it worked since they had different winners each week. Tire was sold at the track and was stamped. Usually was good for about 8-10 races with little or no drop off.

                        I like this idea or maybe 1st offense you lose a finger, cheaters choice as to which one. Second offense is the hand. I'm sure everybody will get in line pretty quick. If Ronnie Lott can take it, so can you.
