Today I was accused of illegally warming my tires on the way from the grid to 
the  starting line. I was just wiggling the car  from side to side to clean 
the tires.
This was at a local two day event in Kansas City. The funny thing about it 
was that the others in my class made no mention of it. I was told by the  
event chair that if I
did the "wiggle" on the way to the start that I would be DSQed from the event.
Of course in true Mike B. fashion the event chair was told to "Get a life" 
and that this
was total BS. As usual I had the onboard tape running and the entire incident 
was captured on video. My question to the list is this. What is "Tire 
Warming"???
Is the wiggle on the way to the starting line illegal???? I didn't do it on 
my last run
just to make sure that I had no further problems. Anyone have an opinion? I 
guess
thats a pretty stupid question?????? Right.

Mike B.
