What Bob said. I bought just the tires. Wayco was taking them off the rims yesterday and he's delivering to my house today.

Well... I just found out my stickies not marked as stickies will still be COUNTED as stickies and thus will not be allowed in the race...

So, I now have TWO sets of tires I need to sell. Anyone want to buy a great set of 37 x 17 Maxxis Trep Stickies?

I'm a little miffed, but it's better than finding out on the lakebed the day before the race.

Communication from Chris Rae:

Alan,

As has been said from the beginning, policing the "sticky" tires will mostly be up to the competitors by filing red cards if they believe someone is running a "sticky". We will be taking durometer readings of the tires if someone protests, and we will have durometer specs for all the tires on the lakebed. It will also more than likely be included in my post race impound inspection of the top finishers.

In the end, the simple moto of "don't be dumb" comes into play. There are lots of gray areas in the rules that can be exploited. It has clearly been stated many times that there are supposed to be "no stickies", by both myself and Dave, regardless of whether they have a DOT stamp on them or not. It would NOT be a good idea for you, or your sponsors, to show up with a set of tires that is considered by the industry to be a "sticky".

Alan, Don't be dumb. That is a silly statement.

Cool Mike.

I just sold my Treps in less than 30 minutes on Pirate. Andrew also found a buyer for my Pitbulls, so now I am selling just the rims. Interesting day today.

Oh, and I got a set of 17" Walker Evans today too... with some of the money from my Pitbull rocker sale. I don't even see the money sometimes... Feel like a day trader.
