Once big racing slicks get hot, they pick up every little pebble or piece of dirt on the track. But with a little help from a heat gun and a spackle knife, they can be made nice and smooth again—that’s how soft this rubber is. Thanks to David from the Fernandez Racing Acura ARX team for showing me how it’s done!

I use to race Quarter Midgets and we use to do this all time. We also use to use tire softener to make the tire VERY sticky.
