Racers Take Notice!!
A topic of debate that has been on and off for years now is the topic of
'Black Tires Only'. Various reasons have been expressed on both sides and
the following compromise is to be enforced beginning January 2015.
NTRA specific:
All builds using slip-on tires only must be black. Color slip-ons may be used on inline
builds only, provided the race is not held at a track declared 'black tire only'.
No color restriction on silli-foam coated tires provided the race is not held at a track
declared 'black tire only'.
Track specific:
Racemasters have the option to declare their tracks as black tire only. Declaration is to
be made during calendar planning and will apply to those classes and events initially
posted in calendar year NTRA Race Directory. Any events or classes added after initial
release of calendar year Race Directory will adhere to NTRA specific ruling on tires.
Racers, be sure to refer to this list when building for a specific event. Listing will be
updated as requested, however will be locked January 2015.
Known 'black tire only' tracks and events for 2015:
(believe there is at least one other track)
The following tracks will follow the below listed tire requirements at their NTRA events.
Slip on tire must be black for all classes and builds that use slip on tires.
Silly foams may be any color for all classes and builds that allow silly foam tires.
All other tracks are assumed to adhere to NTRA specific ruling on tire color.
Racemasters requesting to be placed on an alternative tire requirements list should
make their intentions know prior to January 2015 by sending PM to ninjatek.
