A local drag racer wants to help in our Northern Challenge.
I understand you get one set of tires "free" but he has a set of Chevy ( same bolt pattern as Jaguar) he will lend us for the drag racing portion. In exchange he gets to do some of the drag racing part.
How do we value those?
Second. With the IRS set up for road racing will slicks help us enough to make it worth while?
Slicks will help. Road racing tires are surprisingly poor on a drag strip. It's tire construction , rather than compound that's doing it. To use the slicks you would have to have them in the budget at an FMV , so what are used slicks going for around your area? I say that assuming you would claim the road race tires as your exempt set, but the most expensive tires should be exempt and nothing says it has to be a set. You can exempt the most expensive four, even if it's two drag tires and two autocross tires.
In reply to DeadSkunk (Warren) :
I'm wondering if drag racing slicks help enough even though it will be on an IRS?
The tires likely will be recent Stock car slicks. ( even though a set of tires are exempt, I still have to pay for them and second hand qualifying tires are finically attractive)
