could you post the brand and type of tire? Does it carry a DOT designation? Some were running "R" compound tires and they are basically race tires with a few groves in them.
Joe "TECH MAN" Smith where are you.

If your car is street legal, you can run. It's that simple. FL state law
outlaws straight slicks for street use, as do the Gainesville track rules.
(Except on the Dragstrip, of course!)
If you have tread (of some type) your tires are legal. Mufflers are required
by the track management. Type is not specified. Many of the Cobras are
running baffled sidepipes here, we've had no trouble with the track
management so far.
A word of warning. We had two cars we let "slide" on tech last time.
Due to the expected heat, and the fact that we had a Cobra "puke" on
the track last event, if you don't have an overflow (puke) tank on your
car, you're done. Gainesville is a good deal for all of us, and I for one
don't want to see us banned like the local Viper club was. I'm not trying
to be a hard nose, but it is getting VERY difficult and expensive to secure
track time....any type of track time. I've visited over half a dozen tracks
in the South and most won't even talk to us, or are priced beyond any
type of reality. Let's take care of what we've got. PLEASE. Let's be safe,
play by the rules, and have fun!
