Speaking of aging out, the NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Canada was going to be rained out last weekend until Goodyear showed up with a truckload of grooved racing tires so the cars could run in the rain. This was a first for NASCAR, racing in the rain and it was great for a first time effort. They finally stopped the race when parts of the track flooded. But, the tires Goodyear brought were SIX years old. I got a kick out of hearing that Goodyear thought it was fine to be racing on six year old tires. And, there were no tire problems with the old rubber. I expect all the NASCAR Series will race in the rain in years to come and it's long overdue.
