I had over 15 laps on a 2.5 mile track with those tires when I went down and I know they were warm. I'm not blaming the tires for going down but I really think some slicks would have definitely helped. I had taken that corner the same way all day so the only thing I can think of is the guy in front of me must have haucked a big luggie right on my line because god knows it's never the riders error. J/K. Ok, maybe I was a little hot going into that turn
