- I am having a serious problem with track pick-up. When I come in from a session I have a great deal of rubber bits sort of welded to the tire tread. It is extremely difficult to remove, especially i

- That means it's working. Why are you bothering to remove it? As soon as your tires get up to operating temp and slide around a bit it's all gone. You pick up all that junk on the cool down lap. If yo

- That pickup means that the tires are working. I'm like Bill, I don't remove anything...well except the big chunks. With slicks it's almost a wasted effort to remove anything because by the time you d

- As others have said, the tires are working. Tires these days slough off a lot of rubber, which creates those off-line marbles. Most of what you have picked up is what was those marbles. Your hot tire

- A lot of vintage groups will black flag you for warming your tires up by wagging. Everyone does it in SCCA and ICSSC--an absolute necessity IMHO for slicks and a lightweight car. I also warm up the b

- Odd that anyone would BF someone for such a common practice. IMHO, it's a safety item. Having the pack go into T1 after the green, arguably the most predictably dangerous time of any race -- with EVE

- I suspect they had a few too many people get carried away and crunch into someone else during the pace car lap. Sure would piss you off. Odd that anyone would BF someone for such a common practice. I

- Yeah, just a couple weeks ago at Hallett I was started beside someone who was waggling with such verve he crossed way into my space several times and almost hit me twice! If I had been waggling, he w

- Wasn't it Roberto Moreno who smashed into the car in front of him while warming his tires on the pace lap of a CART race? I remember it being a pretty serious crash. The guy in front had slowed and R
