Just as a disclaimer, I have never used the stuff, and I wouldn't have a clue what this magic spray softener is that is apparently undetectable to the tyre sniffers, which I'm told the cadet boys like to use.

I'm just taking an alternative view considering what I see happening in the US karting scene, where tyre softener is perfectly legal in many classes, but not all, and it saves the competitor a fortune on new tyre costs, not to mention there will be a ton less tyres to recycle, so there is a green/eco benefit somewhere along the line.

My logic is much like when the MSA/ABKC find out that a "non-conformity" has swamped the honda cadet market, they simply legalise it at the start of the following year, just like they did with ignition timing limits, head and block skims, valve seat cutting, reaming out main jets....I could go on......all "non conformities" that had been out there for 1-2 years, that were subsequently legalised.

So why not just legalise tyre softener and stop the whinging?.....or has a tyre sniffer been created that can actually detect the stuff?.......plus it should save everyone a fortune in tyre costs...…

This is intended as a constructive discussion, not a mud slinging contest please.
