Rain in Phoenix this weekend?

[FlFlash]

The tires are so good, they don't wear. But that's not all it takes to make a good race tire. Grip and rubber is what they need, but the tires are so hard they get neither. So the cars have an aero package to make up for the lack of mechanical grip. The aero package is what has changed the racing so much. Some examples:

Side by side racing: Now, if you slip into the other car, your splitter will shred his tire.

Passing: The guy in front has clean air, so his aero package works. The guy behind is lacking mechanical grip, so he can't pass.

2 by 2 racing (pod): Since the cars need a big spoiler, it slows the car down. If you get right behind someone, the air passes over your spoiler without slowing your car so you both go faster.

The list goes on and on. By moving away from mechanical grip and so far towards aero grip, the racing has changed for the worse. IMO, this is why short tracks, where aero isn't as important as mechanical grip, are the only good racing left that you can depend on.

HUH?

Well you want to get rid of the Aero don't you???

some rain tires, and big air dams attached to the front and rear of the cars to hold them down in the rain.

Current conditions:
59 °F
Barometer:29.88 in and rising
Humidity:87 %
Visibility:10 mi
Dewpoint:55 °F
Wind:CALM
Chance of %$@# 50%

Baro rising is a good sign, humidity and no wind is'nt such a good sign any %$@# will likely stall in the area

It's been explained to me that Chance of %$@# refers to the percentage of the covered area effected and not the % of one specific point......these meterologist are exceptionaly proficient at CYA
