Lucas Series will be trying a new method to police tires at the North/South 100 at Florence Speedway..

The series will provide a new LM40 right rear tire, at no cost, to each team who transfers into the 100-lap North/South on Saturday night. Race teams will bring their wheel to a designated impound area where they will choose from fifty LM40 tires that are the same date code and 95" chalk mark. Those tires will have to be mounted - in the presence of an LOLMDS official, inflated - using the nitrogen provided, and then remain stored at the LOLMDS trailer, until the start of the North/South 100 main event.

Love love love this idea
 
I for one believe this is a great idea. Its awesome to see a major series admitting there is a problem and being proactive in fixing it (no surprise WRG didnt do this). But I have some reservations as well. Anytime there is a new process, there are bound to be bugs to work out. Seems to me it would be a bit safer to use a 10k to win show to try this out rather than a 50k show. But regardless, its great that someone is finally doing something.
 
Seems like the a good deal

Tell the tire sponsor if you want to sponsor then we need these tires as part of the deal. If they say no. Go to the next tire company

That way the racers and fans don't pay the bill
