Race Track Officials For A Clarification.

Attention racers, after speaking with many racers, tracks, and sanctioning bodies Swainsboro Raceway has made the decision to amend our current tire rule effective immediately. The same compounds we currently allow will still be allowed, but there will absolutely no tire treatment or conditioners of any kind. We will reserve the right to test any tire in any class at any time we see fit. There will also be a 100.00 tire protest fee implemented for fairness of competition.

Vp Mr9, Mr12 Or Their Equivalent Not Permitted
