 Reminder: April 18th is a Used Tire only race
« Thread Started on Mar 10, 2010, 11:36am »

Just a reminder that April is a Used Tire Day so plan your tire usage accordingly.

Details are the same as last year:

(1) All tires for every track session must be used (practice, qualifying, heats, main);
(2) New tires will not be allowed … even for practice sessions;
(3) Tires must be any of the club spec tires (see 2010 class specs). A variety may be run throughout the day;
(4) *Each tire must have a previous race day marking/stamp. The marking can be from any series (SDKA, ProKart, Gatorz, or other club);
(5) Tires can be used from other drivers (SDKA or other) ... as long as they meet criteria 3 & 4 above;
(6) Tires will be “Teched” at grid before each and every track session;
(7) *Karts with new or unmarked tires will not be allowed to enter the track;
(8) As many tires as necessary may be used during the day, but they must be used spec tires with the race day marking/stamp.

*Tires that are clearly used (not mearly scuffed) but do not have a prior race day stamp will be allowed without penalty. You must go to tech in the morning before practice begins to have them inspected and stamped. Of course they must be one of the club option tires for your class.

*If you have tires with prior race stamps that are worn off or not clearly visible please go to tech in the morning before practice begins to have them inspected and re-stamped.

The weather report is predicting rain on and off on Sunday. Can we use rain tires if we want? If so, do they also have to be used or can we use new rains?

If by chance there is rain then new and used rain tires will be allowed. Two reasons:
- safety
- not many people have good used rain tires handy

Hopefully Accuweather.com is accurate and remains the same (or better). As of right now for Qualcomm (zip 92108) they show 0 hours and 0.00" precipitation for Sunday (day) with 4 hours and 0.19" precipitation Sunday night.
