About drilling rims...For racing in the central valley of California, many drivers drill out the tiny "token" vent holes in the rims to help reduce heat within the tire/wheel assembly. At Speedworld, where it can get really hot, it is common to drill 4 each 1/8" holes in the rims at 90 degree intervals.

Good news... everyone at the Invitational is suffering with the same tire wear... (Misery loves company
)
The main "school of thought" is that it is the Paragon Ground Effects creating this wear... any thoughts?
