Was that on the main track or the little 1/4 mile on the front stretch?

    OK, that’s what I expected.  You’ve got some run off area there on the outside of
    the curves.  Problem with using them  on a normal oval is that no matter how good
    the tires are, there’s going to be more sliding around than usual, and that means
    more contact with the wall.

    That shouldn’t be a real big question.  WC cars aren’t that much different from
    what was running as Trans-Am a few years back (in terms of size, weight, and
    power), so Goodyear should have some decent data to start with.
