tire conditioning
so basically your telling us that you dont want our tires to stick to the track,you would rather us slide across the track into another car or the wall.doesnt make much sense to me,i would think conditioning the tires would make better racing conditions all the way around plus more tires would be bought since we are grinding them.more wrecks, more cautions,less tires being bought,seems like to me that someone hasnt thought this trough all the way.if any others racers feel this way please reply on this matter,i believe it benifits everybody here.doug declue #68 modified.

Grind tires? that would be hard one to police, seen a lot of teams doing it in the pits between races. Would grooving tires stop wrecks on the track? i'm not so sure of that, but it would add a bit of life to a set that is otherwise used up. When we race at SFCR it will be by their rules.
