Got booted I raced and got booted off the track for spinning the rubber of the track. I stripped it down to the asphalt. How do I stop this? I have ET streets on the car.
Sounds like their track was to hot for the vht or it rained water got under the rubber and asphalt and i just started coming up that day. Never herd of a tire being the result of this but could be wrong
Yea same here that's why don't think its his tires and yea I would be pissed. I would tell the owner to invest money back into his track instead of kicking people out that pay his bills.

I have seen that happen with street tires,but not ET's.
The track must have been prepped wrong as there is no way you should be getting 2.3 60fts with those tires unless you got them aired 30psi+

I have worked the starting line at my local track and have drag raced over 20 years. We booted racers for doing this after multiple warnings. Usually it was regular street tired cars that melted the hell out of the tires for ***** and giggles. If you were spinning like hell, I could see the rubber coming up some but not to the asphalt. Guess you know where the track stands now. Chuck

I dont know he dragged me out to the track like a little kid showed me the spot and said if I didnt stop I was out. Did it two more times and said I was done
I didnt even notice it was ETstreets, Like the bias ply DOT slicks? I didn't think they would be that? But redials will you you spin them bad, it messes up the track. Street cars get bald spots form doing that.
