Soaking Tires?

[Winger]

Treating tires affects more than the softness/hardness. Different treatments can do different things and the durometer will still read correct. At least on dirt. I can't speak for the asphalt but would think it would be similar. Tire sniffers aren't very reliable. The only sure way I know of policing the soaking issue it to send the tires out to a lab. That would be cost prohibitive.
I guess you will just need to issue tires as the cars are ready to go onto the track. NOT

If you want to do this right:

1- To run here, you get your tires here.

2- Tires bought here to be use and(or) reuse stay here, impounded after today racing, given back to you at next event.

3- After feature, tires from top X get tested with
A) Sniffer
B) Durometer check
C) Dismount from rim(s) after feature.

I like it Andre...but who pays for it???

[straight up]

you already have paid employees . so they have to work a little harder and stay a lil longer . and leave the lights on a lil longer . yes , yes i know that cuts into beer time . but , problem solved .

If you are talking about the tech man or men, it's the race track responsability to have the necessary staff.

If you are talking about who's paying for tires, if you are going there for speedweek, which is 9 nights of racing, you will need tires, whichever way you look at it, so buy them there, keep your old one for practices. Can also wait for night 2 and buy take off from others.

If you want a system that works, has to have trade off sometimes.

Those are just ideas.

How nice of you to speak to every track employee and demand more of them while asking the track to discount your entry...come on man!! Think!!! This is a business!!!

[straight up]

discounting the grandstand prices is to draw more fans . better to have 1000 fans paying $ 5 bucks to get in than 50 paying $15 . = more money . a fair cheater free playing field equals more cars , better racing . = more fans, more cars = more money . EQUALS A MORE PRODUCTIVE BUISNESS .

New tires, soaked tires, track rental, double stacked toter homes, tire soaker trailers, $40,000 engines, $2000.00 shocks, $200.00 entry fees, chassis dyno time, shaker rigs, etc., etc., etc......For what? $1000.00 to win?
No wonder tracks can no longer attract large fields of late models anymore.

Preach on brother............If only we could make everyone understand.

Gotta give David Rogers props....really made me laugh at how David just knew...and he was able to laugh at the rookies...


Ricky(smiling)...."Your all wrong"

Young one(smiling)...."What does that mean?"

David Rogers (smiling)..."I know what that means....It means our shit's on the trailer!"

lmao....that was good

[Tim]

I get it straight up, if NSS lowers their front gate to $5 then 1000 people will just walk up and want a ticket?..... And that will inspire racers to come....and the track will make a fortune that they should pay back to the racer.

Great business plan!

It's 10 p.m. and practice is over?

Seriously? On a Tuesday night? Anyone in the grandstands?

[straight up]

tim , your just not listening . thats not what was said . twisting words around isnt the answer . reread what everyones saying . all good ideas for the betterment of shortrack racing . as a track employee we understand your position . time to shut this down before we have another tunaman incedent . lol !

[Tim]

gawd damn i don't want another tuna man incedent.....but really, everyone looks to the track to pull more fans in.....wtf are they selling??? "come see straight up take on the best of the best in sportsman!!!!" the fan wonders...who the fu#$ is straight up and why would I pay my money to go see him???
