Being an "onroad" guy I have no issue with spec tires, or banning slicks, as long as its enforced. Offroad lacks easily distinguished premounts or marked tires though to really make a spec tire make sense, I would think a visible tread rule would be the only thing enforceable. I liked the track during the warm months, and did not miss slicks, but I like racing local. Maybe we need some oil, or cornstarch, or mouthwash on the track?????? no soap please.
Agreed mike. On the same page. Looking forward to motorama.
