1. Why doesn't SCCA allow recaps in Solo 2? 2. Are recaps currently used in any form of racing? 3. If so, where can information on those tires be found? TIA, Kevin Wallace /// unsubscribe/change addr

And those relate to autocrossing how?? Dirt track racers use recaps. I think the real reason is a more level playing field for rubber compounds. You think a lot of money is spent on trick shocks? Tr

First, on the truck tires: Those may not necessarily be recaps that you see on the side of the road. A vehicle weighing 40 tons (and sometimes more) puts a tremendous amount of stress on tires. When

My impression is that Paul's guess #1 is basically it. The recap rule has been around ever since the rulebook was a stone tablet. It did not exist everywhere. I seem to recall a race team in the '70s

When I started autocrossing in a Z-car over 30 years ago, recaps were the hot thing to have. A company here in SoCal did them for about $100 for 4 tires. You went to their place and tried to pick out

I'm thinking that if a recapping company thought there was enough volume (money) to justify the effort, they could probably get the powers that be to change that rule and they could sell sticky 'caps

One also wonders how easy it would be to fiddle with compounds on a regular basis. I'm not sure how much this potential problem may have had to do with the creation of the rule. One of John Greenwood
