Default Track tires

I want to know if they will let you race on dounuts in the front? In my mustang mag a cougar was doing that and it looks cheaper then buying skinnies in the front.

Yes they are rated for 60 but if the track turns a blind eye to it I might give it a try.

Is it logical to run tires almost guaranteed to blow at a certain speed, and maybe ruin the car............and for what reason? To go faster?
To save money?

Is the trashed car cost equal to the detriment of a slower ET and/or
cost of stock tires? Inquiring minds want to know.-Bob

What about others racing next to. Shouldnt they have the choice to not be racing next to some idiot that is trying wreck their car because they want to run some cheap spare tire rated at 60mph.
Thats is absolutely retarted and if you are so inclined to do this then please be considerate to others and always race down the track solo so you dont ruin some elses car also.


To answer your question: Ofcoarse its not leagal. What would even lead to you think for one minute that at track would allow something so foolish.
