“The rider has the sole responsibility of ensuring tires are rated for the appropriate speed and for inspecting the condition of tires before and after each run.”

vetwin..i would choose zr dot or race spec

OK, so you'd be fine with changing tires from whatever you used on that 272 pass, to whatever the sanctioning body told you was now required, and you'd go crank off another 272 pass and not worry about it, right?

I have to admit, that surprises me a bit. I mean, you're doing something that's inherently ungodly dangerous, and you have a tire that you know performed fine, and you'd switch to an unknown tire and do it again. You have bigger cajones than me. 'Course all you guys running over 200 do. But if I ever get to that level I'm going to be real careful about something so closely tied to my safety like tires. You can die going those speeds. Easily.

I agree that you have the right to know ahead of time if your tires aren't going to be accepted. I just look at the wording and wonder how in the world you could have any doubts. But if you do have doubts you most certainly should be able to email or call someone, tell them what you're planning to run and the speeds you're trying to go, and get a confirmation that they'll allow it, before you lay down your entry fee and travel halfway across the country. If the organizers wouldn't do that for you, you have a legitimate gripe.

First insults, now threats. The mods sure let you get away with a lot.

Regardless, if I were you I'd be very careful before I threatened Dan. My guess is you'd get the worst end of that deal.

And Kent,
We plan to use a shaved, heat cycled, ZR Michelin on our bike and we do hope to go over 200 mph. It is the same type of tire that we went 218 mph on in 2006 at Bubs and it was just fine.

Kent,
I am just a stupid guy asking for facts.  I have yet to see anybody show me where I can see in writing that race tires are certified to 250 mph. the only thing I have seen is you saying that the SCTA has done it for the tire makers. Am i wrong in what I am reading?  Did you not just say that the SCTA has done the job for me and certified race tires to be rated up to 250 mph?

Oh wait it's Dan that does that.  :wink:

Dan,

We   are   not   saying   that   the  ZR   street   tires will   not   be   accepted   at   the   AMA/Bubs   event,   we   are   saying


  we   read   it   differantly   than   you   do   however   and   want   to   make   sure   the   racers   are   prepared.

That's all..


John

And John all I am asking is that you show me in writing where any tire is rated by the manufacturer to go over 200 mph.  Kent has admitted that there isn't a motorcycle tire that is rated for that. If we follow the rules the way you read them then nobody will be allowed to run over 200 mph unless they have the Goodyear LSR 300 mph tires right?  

Thats what the rules say do they not.  They must be rated.  Just saying they are a race tires does not mean thyey are rated for over 200 mph.  



I have no idea what post I am supposed to edit nor why?   If it is about the SCTA being sued because of a tire failure pease read what i posted carefully.  It is a question not a statment of fact.
