So I'm watching the NASCAR race on Fox tonight, or rather Cops since the race was rain-delayed. Now it seems simple to me, carry a set of treaded tires, in addition to the slicks, so the race can start even during rain. Mind you I'm aware that slicks are better for grip, but what's the bias againsted treads? It's not like they're doing a lot of cornering - its only left turns on soft grades - treads can hold on that.
