When checking to see if a new rule book was out, I re-read the addendums that were done through out last season.

ADDENDUMS TO FASCAR OFFICIAL RULES – 05.14.09
Safety Rules:
Rule #10. Tires must “punch” a minimum of 42 on the durometer at all times. NO TOLERANCE

that's an update to the "Safety" section of the rule book. it would be superseded by any class specific rules ( otherwise, what's the point of making specific exceptions within each class? ). that's why i pointed out that while trucks can run wheel weights, the general FASCAR rules actually ban all wheel weights.

why the durometer punch is even in the "Safety" area is another subject altogether. as i understand the term, tire hardness has never been a "safety" issue.

Just telling you what was announced by speed51. They were told by Kim Brown. I had always thought that is was not allowed because of what the rule book says. Problem is I have some take offs for my Super Stock and they have been soaked by previous owner.

How often during the racing season are they really checked?

Cara.. the last thing you need to worry about is those tires that were soaked by a previous owner... Just because the previous owner stated he/she soaked them doesn't actually mean anything to you... He/she might have or might not have.... As long as they punch a minimum durometer reading of 42, you shouldn't have any problem whatsoever...

Good Lord racing is expensive enough without having to worry about where you get takeoffs to race with...

Duane, I am not worried one bit about the tires. Just need to find out what the problem is with the car not wanting to start. All I know it is something electrical and will need to find time to work on it. My husband started a new job within the company he has been working for the past 10 years and it means more hours. Could cause problems with me trying to get back to racing at OSW and might be changing over to dirt to race Saturday nights. I know, I could race at NSS but don't have the right gear for the car and haven't been there since the year Homer died.

I don't mind bring the car to the track OSW by myself because I have done it many times but sometimes I need help with the set up.

Not worried about the rules anyways, just do as I please.LOL
