<< We campaign the big red pickup truck and have, up until WF, run Pirelli
P6000 Z-rated tires on the back. This tire has an agressive rain groove

truck has always driven straight and solid with NEVER a hint of tire slip at
speeds up to 193.
When we showed up for WF, we were told by the inspector that we could not
run the Pirellis even though by the letter of the rule book, they were
legal. >>
What was the reason that the inspector said you couldn't run the Z rated
tires. In the rule book they say they are good up to 200 mph. I looked at
your pictures,nice job on the truck and record. larry mac
