Clubs/Tracks still have the ability to use any treaded tire they see fit.
Ultimately, at this point in time, the Spec Tire for 2014, really is only applicable to 3 races. USVTA Southern Nats, Summit USVTA Carpet Nats, Scale Nationals, all of which are USVTA Triple Crown Series events.
It would most definitely be an added bonus if other larger events that ran USGT, used the Spec tire/insert as well.
I agree , it doesn't matter what tire is faster or slower. I think for big races, we should have a spec tire . Are local track will leave it open treaded tire for club racing . I hope to make it out to some of these races you mentioned .
The only negative I've found so far is , after 10 or 12 runs the stock inserts have compressed in spots . Leaving areas feeling as if there is no insert present .
