NOT THE CASE with most flat track!

They dont run on sand! The track is slick when its freshly tilled & watered down, and 3-5 heats in its blue-grooved and like tarmac. You could RIP on your SM with “street” tires out there, no lie (just stay out of the cushion).

The fast guys at ECR are backing it in mid straight away top of 5th around 80mph, stuck to the ground like glue. The tires after the race are HOT, and scrubbed off like a track day on a road course. If you havnt seen it IRL, it will be a real eye opener.

Also, ICE. Those guys setup for ice all say you have MORE grip on ice than street tires on pavement. They setup the tires and studs by hand, they can even feel the difference between the kold kutters turned 45 degrees on each tire lug, thats how fine tuned they are. The tires dont ever see dirt, pavement, truck bed floor,or any rolling on anything other than the ice… top level shit.
