Most street tires fall off hard around 160 or so, some lower. Watering down tires to cool them down on a hot day is a common practice.


I think Brett's comments are dead on and funny as heck, but in all seriousness there is a lot you should do before an event. I have to do some work and prep my car this weekend, I will try and take pictures and talk about what I do as a pre race inspection.
