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.
