Tire Warmer Usage

[Spooner]

Jeez dude - chill out  8)

Don't get your panties in such a bundle.  No one was slamming you or trying to make you look bad.



Your opinion is yours and everyone is entitled to there own, just as Jeff is entitled to his.

For the record - my opinion on the subject - I never go on the track without using tire warmers first and would recommend even beginners do the same.  It doesn't matter how fast you are - running on race rubber that's not up to temp (or at least some what warm) is a cold tire crash waiting to happen.  Sure you could go out and slide around (or ride around if you're not fast) for a couple of laps until they're warmed up but why take the chance and waste the track time? 

I've never attended a tire seminar but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night 

Now can't we all just get along?

Screw you hippy!!

I thought you banned Wong Long from the board.  He was really adding to the racing community.  

Doh! you got me...  I did ban him/her/it.

Even if some people don't like all of his opinions, that last part is pretty good advice ipscer. 

Agree!

Ok, since I made the move to race rubber I never (well not by choice) go out with warming my tires, would anyone in the know care to elaborate on cold tearing?

[catman]

a good point cold tearing- might fit in nicely here- if rubber isnt warmed up and pliable like in its natural ductability condition does the tire rip(cold tear) with hard use- ? great thread  :pop:chill and learn

I almost always use tire warmers unless there's no power available. I much prefer to be able to go 100% off the start seeing as with my horrible starts I can't afford to take a lap to heat up tires.
