Never seen anyone talk about it, is it a IFMAR rule to have your tires sprayed?
Or is it something someone came up with at the race.
I know why they might spray a tire but would like to know more info on the subject.
Yes it was decided (By IFMAR) that they should spray EVERY racers tires in TECH with alcohol because someone said certain teams were using tire sauce to gain traction. SO thats what IFMAR decided to do at the race Yesterday. Its causing some tires to split at the seams (attacking the glue) and tire wear to double in a 13 min run (3 min warmup and 10 min race).
