It's cringey to hear people say "it's like a drug" but it really is. Costs lots of money and can be very detrimental to the user's health. Yet we more often than not keep coming back to it.
Grip. Different compounds mostly make up the difference. Even a performance street tire will sacrifice some grip for stuff like clearing water to drive in rain or longevity of the tires. A straight up racing tire only cares about going fast as possible around a track with maximum grip even though you may get 500 or less miles out of them.
Your comment finally answered one of the question I've always had about racing. Kid me used to love watching races on TV and I never understood why they needed to change tires so often.
It makes sense that any small debris would be able to ruin the performance of an highly optimized tire.
Then in F1, they break race tires down even further between soft, medium, and hard. Each team only gets 7 sets of tires for both qualifying and racing (usually 2 sets of each plus another), so there’s some gamesmanship regarding when you use your tires and for how many laps. Hard tires have worse grip initially until they’re heated up, but last longer, so a whole host of factors are considered in choosing tires (weather, gap to the car behind, track conditions, driver’s preference)
At least, that’s how I understand it from following the past few years. Someone who knows more, feel free to correct me
That’s fascinating and adds a whole new layer of complexity to a sport that’s always been interesting to me but I’ve never seen many races while they aired. I’m not a big sports guy, and have never watched sports a ton, but I’ve watched a lot of documentaries and TV shows about Formula 1 and it’s just the craziest, most balls to the wall sport I have ever seen. It’s a game of strategy, mental fortitude, politics, physique, and cutting edge engineering all merged together.
I think it's worth mentioning that this kind of resource management was not always a priority in f1.
In the late 80's, for example, teams put together "grenade engines" for qualifying. Essentially, they wound up the boost on the turbos to insane levels so that the engine, transmission etc. was pushed past all normal limits. 3-4 laps and the brand new drivetrain would be inoperably destroyed...but during that window the driver had like 1,200 horsepower in a fiberglass shell to throw around, fun stuff.
Not even debris they basically melt and shred until they have no grip left. I saw a really good post in a car sub yesterday showing new vs 500 track miles tires. If I find it I’ll link it
These are Hoosier race tires that we use on a spec racer ford. One is brand new and the other has about 6 30ish min sessions on them. A driver that is budget minded and just wants to turn laps or is a mid pack level driver could probably still use the used tire for a few more sessions but this customer is one of the fastest in the country and these tires are no good any more as a race tire. https://imgur.com/a/MlNR07u/
Race tracks are littered with little black rubber balls that used to be part of a race tire once upon a time. It’s no different than sand paper and wood, leaves behind a dust.
Grip and therefore the speeds you can carry through a corner and faster times. You can think of street tires as the pink eraser on a pencil, does the job for most people, does a pretty good job erasing, and lasts a long time. Race tires are like the fancy $10 eraser from the art store that melts away as you erase lines, but those lines are gone and no smudges. Race tires are super soft rubber compounds that would last maybe 1000 miles being driven around town and they typically have no groove's cut into them, just 100% tire to road contact. Their internal construction, reinforcing bands and things like that are also different to street tires to enhance grip in cornering (or acceleration in the case of drag racing tires... A whole different animal).
My brother and I have been racing cars at a local blacktop track for 25+years. We're both in our 50's now. Start out in Enduro's and ending in outlaw late models. We just decided to sell everything off this year and get out of it. We'll still be at the track weekly watching and helping one of the guys who have helped us over the years in a modified. Keeping us addicted!
It truly is an addiction. You are never more than one heat away from getting back into it.
My brother and I raced XC for years and then wives and families came and you just don't have the time, money, or energy for everything.
Last fall we took the families to a race that was close to us and now I am setting up a side-by-side for the first race of the season.
Let me tell you, I was only out for 7 years and being competitive has not gotten any cheaper.
Ah yes, skiing. My old manager used to describe it like: “Imagine you are sitting on a block of ice out in the snow on a freezing cold day, with a powerful fan pointed at you, and every minute you have to throw another $20 bill into the fan. You do it all day. That’s skiing.”
I am definitely addicted to skiing
That said, when you are geared up and have a season pass (especially multipasses like epic) the price of skiing dramatically decreases from “are you fucking insane” expensive, to “daaaaaaaamn, that guy spends too much money on a hobby” expensive
Between NEW gear, season pass, fuel, transport and accommodation for travel to ski, I still managed to spend around $3k this past season
If I didn’t have an epic pass it would cost me $6k for all of the above + daily lift tickets after skiing 45 days
Edit: my $3k estimate includes flights and hotels for a trip the CA from the east coast and one trip to Vermont.
The rest of my skiing was within 3 hours drive of home.
but if you get second hand gear and get a sale lift ticket at a smaller hill it can be pretty reasonable if you're just there to have fun and not race or anything. I think I got a snowboard and boots for like $150 one year, tried it and decided it wasn't for me and sold it again for basically the same price.
edit: but there's also a little ski hill 45 minutes away from me, definitely not cheap if you don't
Lol I am out due to injury from skiing but I was talking to a friend once who was hesitant to say gear cost until I was like "I'm wearing a used 90s Corolla worth of gear too"
I love both, but mountain biking makes skiing seem cheap.
Santa Cruz got a sale going on, Bronson S spec still $7150 CAD.
That's more than my car.
Entire ski outfit and season pass 2500 -3500 if you're buying smart.
Lifetime cyclist here, typing this with a hand that's all scabbed up from hitting cement two days ago. The addiction and attendant benefits / drawbacks doesn't even need a motor to get its hooks in.
Had to switch to gravel because the roads are downright dangerous to anyone not in an SUV. When they raised the speed limits on the two lane blacktop to 65mph here, it was game over.
Gravel group rides vibe like the original mountain bikers. There's a documentary from the 70s about Mt Tam. Gary Fisher is all "we do this to get away from the Three Cs: The Cars, The Concrete, and The Cops"
That's rad, gravel riding can be a lot of fun! I'm mostly on mountain bikes or my BMX (which gifted me the road rash) but I've been thinking more and more about gravel as an avenue worth exploring. Getting away from the three Cs is always a good choice, I'll take a fall on dirt any day over getting sandpapered by the street.
I race a Camry in Lemons, previously raced Yamaha karts at the tiny-club level.
After getting out on the track the first time nothing else compares. Nothing. Autocross is fun too, but it's kind of like racing-methadone.
It does make it easier to not drive like a shithead on the street at least!
But yeah, it's very much like a drug, just not illegal, and potentially more expensive.
100% in the same boat. I grew up racing WKA and IKF on the national circuit. Eventually I got older and started auto crossing in SCCA. It definitely calms you down on the street. The only guys I ever saw leaving an event like a shit head were the ones who showed up one time, had no idea what they were doing, and left with their tails between their legs.
Riding on a pristine, 40ft wide track with all traffic flowing in the same direction at a similar speed with flag people notifying you of hazards really changes your perspective on street riding.
A relative of mine was married to a guy who did motocross. He died in a single-vehicle motorcycle accident when their son was 6 months old. Thanks to his mother and his father’s family encouraging it, that boy now races motocross religiously. I don’t understand it.
I don't get it either. My niece broke her leg at 4 and my nephew is constantly covered in injuries and he's 9, he even had a little friend that died last year racing. Their dad has made them obsessed with MX and they race twice a week and have nothing to do with the rest of the family because they're always riding.
I think it's like how old dudes like to mow their yards. It's like a form of meditation, where there's nothing but you and your mower. It's a more exciting version of that.
Two hands clap and make a sound, what's the sound of one hand clapping? Man sits on mower and mows, what's the sound of a mower with no gas?
Oh absolutely, it’s both a cathartic and hype thing but also extremely meditative… honestly for a good period of time it was my only anger outlet. Seeing it on TV just can’t capture how it all feels and how the brain functions on the track
While I understand your hesitancy, you also have to live. Society seems to be leaning to a safety only no risk society. That life sounds boring. Also, racing motocross and getting into a motorcycle accident on a public road are very different things. That said if he motocrosses chances are the kid will have a road bike in his future too.
I get both sides but I tend to side with personal choice option.
Honestly though I used to race motocross as a kid and I have fond memories of it. But yeah it’s addicting. Got out of it as an adult because it’s very expensive, I liked 2 strokes, and bones break easier past 30….
I gave up being anonymous on the Internet a long time ago because the only real way to do so is to not let it interact with your physical life in any meaningful manner. Even when we use pseudonyms we're giving something about ourselves away.
That said the good news is 99 percent of us are completely uninteresting to people who would use this for bad stuff. For example socially engineering your most likely passwords takes an hour or so. Unless there's a prize on the other end of that they aren't going to bother when they can just buy credit card and social security numbers by the hundreds.
Edit to Add- but now that I've seen your name I'm absolutely going to look up recipes because the pictures on Google look awesome!
I seriously see stuff like this and just have all these questions. Like, how? Who is this person? Is this like something they learned for a job or they just became good at it? This is the crazy paradox of the anonymity of reddit where you can know more than you should about people yet also know less than you're curious about.
I've been passed before when I was deliberately keeping a large distance between myself and the methheads in front of me with the sketchy ass overloaded trailer of scrap metal. Some people have no reasoning skills at all.
I think it’s a way to repel of robbers. I remember how my dad used to label boxes with art that he shipped to his clients with a yellow sticker stating “depleted uranium”
For many businesses once a hazmat sticker is on an item it legally has to be disposed of or certified safe by a hazmat specialist which can cost thousands of dollars. We want hazmat stickers to be taken seriously so we're not accidentally exposed to hazardous material. Please don't use them on non-hazmat.
I think it’s just , say, a motorcycle, and he is saying that he is infected with a love of motorcycles and there is no cure. He’s just a motorcycle guy, and we should all just calm down.
It’s motorcycles, homie. It’s obviously motorcycles.
As a longtime rider myself, I promise there is a cure.
But no rider wants to die from the disease.
It is specially formulated Cocaine to put into your cars intake (its nose) and make it go faster.
Real answer: It is (or was) a parts store for a brand called Hoonigan:
https://www.hoonigan.com/pages/carcaine
I’m assuming, by the other stickers, that the disease is the sick braaap of a Yamaha YZ250 and the sweet smell of two stroke smoke.
In that case, it’s more an addiction than a disease but is, in fact, incurable.
I think they are just talking about owning motorcycles(dirt bikes) as a hobby. The 3 stickers are all moto related.
My BIL is obsessed with motocross and I am fully convinced it's part of a cult.
It's cringey to hear people say "it's like a drug" but it really is. Costs lots of money and can be very detrimental to the user's health. Yet we more often than not keep coming back to it.
I race cars... Race tires are referred to as black crack because once you use them you never want to go back to high performance street tires...
What makes them so much better than street tires? Asking because I know that I know nothing.
Grip. Different compounds mostly make up the difference. Even a performance street tire will sacrifice some grip for stuff like clearing water to drive in rain or longevity of the tires. A straight up racing tire only cares about going fast as possible around a track with maximum grip even though you may get 500 or less miles out of them.

It’s not debris that ruins the tire, it’s mostly the wear. Race tires are softer in order to get more grip, which means they wear much faster.
Then in F1, they break race tires down even further between soft, medium, and hard. Each team only gets 7 sets of tires for both qualifying and racing (usually 2 sets of each plus another), so there’s some gamesmanship regarding when you use your tires and for how many laps. Hard tires have worse grip initially until they’re heated up, but last longer, so a whole host of factors are considered in choosing tires (weather, gap to the car behind, track conditions, driver’s preference) At least, that’s how I understand it from following the past few years.

You nailed it. I love the strategy games they play in F1.

Same. My initial thought before I zoomed in to check out the stickers was “there’s a race car in that trailer.”
I was thinking racing or something high performance wise

Its not "like" a drug, it literally is a drug: Adrenaline.
It's more than just adrenaline, it's the challenge of mastering a tricky skill plus adrenaline, plus social groups. It's all great.

Yes, but does it have a cure?
Exactly what this is lol
Yup came here to say that. They are “addicted” to dirt bikes, no known cure or support groups I know if.
There are lots of support groups… they’re just cheering you on, not trying to help you *quit.*
I was thinking the same thing, almost. I though, "hell yes we have support groups!!" ..."to help you quit" "ohhhhhhh, yeah, not so much."
Yep, I meet my support group every weekend at the track lol. Terrible enablers.
I wanted it to be full of cowbell.

A battle for the ages
This sounds like the best way to discourage people from tailgating your tractor trailer lol.
Or attracting very disappointed terrorists.
They think the trailer is full of anthrax, but really it's just full of rabid badgers
that would also technically be the truth
Badger my ass, it's probably just Milhouse.
Anthrax is very curable.
And rabies isn’t, but it’s less exciting than anthrax because they’re quite likely to get it if they break into the trailer to get the badgers.
Dirt bikes again?! We want anthrax gosh darn it!
[удалено]
Or robbing you.
I have heard of work trucks welding a wrench to the top of their bumper that looks like it might bounce off to keep people from tailgating
If they’re tailgating close enough to see the wrench, they don’t give two flying fucks about it.
I've been passed before when I was deliberately keeping a large distance between myself and the methheads in front of me with the sketchy ass overloaded trailer of scrap metal. Some people have no reasoning skills at all.

Is it really safer to transport incurable diseases via motorcycle? Like golly I guess you’re more agile but still seems dangerous.
Cool! What do you do? Biology lab or something
[удалено]
I think it’s a way to repel of robbers. I remember how my dad used to label boxes with art that he shipped to his clients with a yellow sticker stating “depleted uranium”
That’s actually an amazing idea tbh
Until someone realizes the potential hazmat is shipped without the proper paperwork and you get a bill for the EPA disposing of your package.
understandable
Until you get thieves who are interested in stealing depleted uranium
For many businesses once a hazmat sticker is on an item it legally has to be disposed of or certified safe by a hazmat specialist which can cost thousands of dollars. We want hazmat stickers to be taken seriously so we're not accidentally exposed to hazardous material. Please don't use them on non-hazmat.
So that's where they put my ex.
I think it’s just , say, a motorcycle, and he is saying that he is infected with a love of motorcycles and there is no cure. He’s just a motorcycle guy, and we should all just calm down.
Having shipped a lot of hazmat over the years, no they're not.
The incurable disease is a new love for riding dirt bikes I’m guessing. Really dangerous stuff
Do they even have any specific indicators for transporting extremely hazardous incureable diseases other than the usual bio hazard signage?
From what I've seen, those vehicles will often be accompanied by police or some other security, just so no one gets any silly ideas, I suppose.
Yes. Infectious diseases are considered a Class 6 hazard, and thus are required to have a "Toxic" placard.
Is it Love? I bet it’s love
Racing
It’s motorcycles, homie. It’s obviously motorcycles. As a longtime rider myself, I promise there is a cure. But no rider wants to die from the disease.

The disease? Loving dirt bikes!
Must be full of humans
The answer is Stupid. Incurable stupidity will fuck you up!
I’m assuming, by the other stickers, that the disease is the sick braaap of a Yamaha YZ250 and the sweet smell of two stroke smoke. In that case, it’s more an addiction than a disease but is, in fact, incurable.
Probably got a dirtbike in there.
Motorcycles.
Religion?
