we were talking about it on the way home and we are going to prep the tires differently next race. we tried something new and it was not as good as what we were doing last year.
i didnt realize you prepped tires for oval track, thought that was just something people did for drag racing.
i never drove on a track (go cart track i dont count) before so no clue about any of that stuff.
Oh yeah, we do a ton of tire prep ussually. we slipped up or just got lazy today. we should have stuck to our normal routine. i will ussually spend about 45 minutes to an hour per tire grinding, grooving, siping and needling it. I made a post about it when i first got on here a while back if you want to check it out here
There is a video in there at the bottom where we made our tire machine for an entry to win a high dollar tire machine that shows our tire machine i made out of a treadmill. :)
we did not win but i love our invention. cuts about 15 to 20 minutes off of prep time per tire.
It works like a charm and everyone at the track loves it. Great conversation piece.
Wow i had no clue it was that much but when i think about it i understand, thats all thats contacting the ground so i get how important wheels must be.
i opened it up in another tab, once i finish my replies ill check it out. i hove homemade stuff so it sounds like its right up my alley.
:D
