We were by Satterlees ride when they took samples. They weren't just throwing chunks of rubber into random bags. The bags had been labeled and another dude was recording everything on a clipboard regarding the driver, tire compound in use, etc. They were doing a very through job of recording and ensuring that everything was correctly labeled and associated to the driver.

When they were testing Satterlees tires he was fairly agitated and short with everyone.

I didn't figure Sam was just stuffing them in a sandwich bag all willy nilly......the whole thing is really just stupid.

Reminds me a little bit of the 55 mph speed limit enforcement on the highway.......yeah, it's the law of the land, and totally enforceable ........but really?

'altering the face of the tire lettering and/or tire stamping will not be permitted' ...this is a quote from the rule book so rubbing the wall or another car making the tire stamp illegible would be technically illegal right?

Here is my take on this how could anyone be so stupid to doctor tires with 100 grand on the line. Is it stupid or arrogance or both.😭😭😭

And that's the problem.........they are supposedly getting away with all this other stuff and the best the series can do is throw a terribly questionable antiquated random tire test at them , get some chatter going about it and say " look at what we are doing to keep it real". Preposterous.......juiced tires aren't the dam reason racing costs are ridiculous, quite the opposite actually IMO. And no offense meant to you at all.

you can look at it like that I suppose ( glass have empty) but I see it as sign at least something is being done regardless how minute it may seem. I don't know how much recourses the racing series' have to keep up with all these high dollar teams and cheating. second, I understand that juiced tires aren't the only reason racing has become astronomically expensive , rather just a spoke in the whell amongst many other issues.

why certainly just can 't run the firecracker summer nats or world if found guilty

Why would they want to run where there not wanted anyway???

Plenty o options out there if you want to race.

The only way to end all this is to either just let them doctor the tires or ban them from all sanctioned events for like 5 yrs if caught. youre either going to have to put the fear of God in them with bans, OR just say screw it....do what you want to tires. Theres no middle ground here on this topic that I see as viable.

maybe not but safety and health concerns might be

This is your brain on a non treated tire on fire ...........

Breath enough of either in and you will die of something.

no one better be b4tching about this. all I hear is how expensive racing is and what teams get away with, now a series enforces something we should all applaud.

come to think of it B Shep has been running quite well lately. things that make you go hmm. let all the innuendos start.

[Barbecueboy]

Just have them pick the tires up at the track the day of the race it's a simple fix.

That won't work according to the experts........
