Search isn't cooperating with awful.app, so sorry if old news.

I'm just coming out of the 6 hours at the Glen with an engineer friend and this site came up from a friend of his.

Do you guys know of this? Apparently, deeply discounted tires with 1-2 heat cycles. Word was that the vendor dude helps teams "recycle" race tires after the initial maximum grip is depeted, and sells them for pennies on the dollar.

I don't know if its true anymore, but you used to be able to go to cruise around the paddock at an IMSA race and grab a whole bunch of used tires. Congrats to someone if they've managed to turn that into a business.

I believe that's EXACTLY what has happened here.
