Siping vs. Needling

I think they are talking about chemical treated rubber residue be put on the track, which would be a stretch for the EPA to enforce.

However he is right on about proper disposal and proper transporting of chemicals. I have heard of tickets for race fuel in unmarked fuel jugs when they want to be pr**ks.

im gonna use it and traction control on my truck in the snow,if it doesnt work ill own the companys
 
Before I explain what the thread was actually about let me set a couple of you straight. I do sell prep, and yes some of it is "Undetectable". Nothing, and I mean nothing, is against the law of any state in the United States. I pay my taxes every year just like every other honest person. So as far as the EPA getting involved with my operation, let them. My preps are biodegradable to 60% within 30 days. That is incredible for any chemical. Oh and by the way they were also made by a chemist, in a lab, who happens to be part of Chemtrek(EPA works with them). Get your facts straight before you get on here and turn this into amateur hour.

Now as far as me cutting and needling tires. In Karts we have been cutting tires for more years than I have raced, we have been needling tires for around 5-6 years. The cutting(which I have a full tire lathe for) allows me to cut degrees of contour, cut camber, and true a tire up. I can change many aspects of the tire just by cutting the contact patch of that tire. Which all of this is LEGAL in the rules.

Needling is something different. By me needling your tires you will never have to sipe again. Needling allows a more consistent result, and saves you a ton of time. It gets that tire to temp quicker and also keeps it there without letting the tire overheat and blister or seal up. Far better technology than siping a tire.

Both of these services I provide are very inexpensive. In my opinion they are both very necessary as well. Thank You
 
And one more thing, as far as I know Needling a tire is completely LEGAL. If I am wrong about that then correct me, and please post the rule that says you can't.

For those of you who live outside the box and want to go faster, give me a call.

As far as I understand the rules of the Sanctioning bodies for most of the tracks in our area needling a tire is completely legal. Now I will admit whether something is or isn't against rules obviously doesn't change my stance on it, but I won't break the law or put my customers at risk with the EPA. Like I said in my last post, the chemist who makes the stuff I sell is a member of Chemtrek(who of which works very closely with the EPA). At least do your homework before you get on here and slam me or anyone else, it just makes you look stupid. Are you stupid? You can plead the 5th and we will all just make our own decision on that question. Or you can continue to make stupid comments and it will be an obvious answer.

Like I said if you would like to be faster(Legally) then give me a call and I can help you out. If you would like to be faster(Illegally) then give me a call and I can also help you with that. Thank You

I'm working just as you do to make a living and provide for a family. You may not agree with some ventures I'm in, but this is LEGAL so please go away. Thank You

I needle everything. The softer compounds are especially important however, reason being is because the softer compounds have a tendency to tear off edges and also chunk out easier. Needling the tire will help avoid that.
 
No it's legal to needle the D's. It may be a grey area, but it isn't illegal. However the Emod D seems to be a tire that the tracks around here aren't going to allow this year.
 
bielong..
lol, that was funny. But the man is trying to run a business. If I was him, and if someone brought tires in for "whatever" treatment, I can understand him "doing what he is asked" whether legal or not. It's not up to him to "police" people. Let the drivers take their chances of getting caught. JMO
