John, Rubber tires = no ride height changes, usually no wondering what tires to run. and really brings out the people who can setup their car. If you have a properly setup car Rubber is just as fast and wears fine. And I think its time that everyone here started running rubber so that way when they go to the outdoor Nationals and stuff they are not out to lunch. Just think about how many fast guys we have in the area, and when was the last title won that wasnt on carpet.....and you have three of the fastest stock touring guys in the country right here. Cuffs Shreff and Jon. And by no means do I mean to disrespect anyone.
