Exact set ups is an elusive or abstract thing, simply because no two drivers will run the exact same lines. I am not buying the 100 percent openness anyway, even if they had one man setting the psi on the tires for both cars. There is nothing stopping Wolfe from having one his guys discreetly bleed out another pound, the ego wants it own prized secrets.
And recommended psi from Goodyear is just that, because the CCs are hell bent on running the PSI they think is best. Goodyear is a generic scorce they don't have anything to gain by getting 100 percent use or exhausting the capabilities of the tires. If they could have everybody not pushing the limits and the tires never giving up, that would be only be perfect for them. Hence they will never intentionally suggest an overly aggressive psi.
That's the Crew Chiefs job, and I want it that way, it is a professional sport, so even if Goodyear issued a recommended psi that was to low, tough crap the people actually racing need to be the real experts.
I would be OK with mandated weights on go carts were a lot of minors compete. But even at the local Late Model level I want Right Fronts that are not bricks, I want them to have a stress point that gives up if it is abused. Racing is definitely a risk management thing, and it should be technically difficult and without Goodyear babysitting the kids.
If a half dozen kill a tire in a 500 mile race and the other 37 don't that is just tough. They need to adjust the psi, set-up, or tell the driver to ease up his corner entry, or maybe all three.
If not then they having it coming, it is a part of racing that belongs imo.
