This notice if to clear up language in Chapter 3, Section 10, B. of the WoO Sprint Car Rule book. The changes and additions are in bold print.
B. The altering of any tire compound, by any means will not be permitted. Chemical alteration of the tread carcass and/or tread compound, such as tire ‘soaking’ and/or the introduction of tread ‘softener’, and/or wet grinding with any liquid, and/or the physical defacement (removal, altering and/or covering) of tire sidewall markings in any manner will not be permitted. If any competitor is found to have altered their tires any penalty deemed appropriate by World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Officials may be issued. The rear drive tires may be protested by another competitor following the protest rules as stated in World Racing Group General Rules, Chapter 2, Section 8.
a. Any tire may be inspected and/or analyzed for alteration at any time. This will consist of a process as determined by the independent laboratory that performs the analysis. A “Chain of Custody” process will be outlined with the competitor upon inspection of the tires. Tire samples sent for analysis must match the benchmark provided to the laboratory by Hoosier Tire, as determined by the laboratory.
b. The analysis process will require shipment of a sample of the tire to the selected laboratory. Additional race event(s) may be completed before a determination is made. If a penalty is issued, the event(s) that fell into the analysis time period while the tire(s) were being analyzed will be considered as part of the penalty time period.
c. Reference Chapter 2, Section 1, C, for Competitive Analysis.
