Default Info on tire grooving?

Does anyone have any good information on tire grooving? I am wondering how many grooves to cut, how deep, what angle, etc. This will be on American racer flattrack tires.

Any help is appreciated.
Richard

Atv Sport had Darly Rath do an article on it a few months back. You might be able to check their web site for the article. I think its atv news .com. The article wasn't as detailed as you are looking for but it might help.

By the way, AlkyBurninX, did you see my post on the Dyna FS ignition? Check it out.

Thanks for that, it kept me from digging through a 4'x4'x1' box full of old rags.

I am having trouble finding a copy of that. Would one of you be interested in selling your copy? I can pay with M/O or paypal.

Thanks

Pay....no. What exactly do you want to know, or do you just want the issue? I can scan and email or something like that. Or I can send it to you either way.

I basically want to know everything I can about it. You would think all of the racers I know would know what they are doing. Everyone says they just really don't know how to do it right. If you can e-mail me the pages that talk about it, that would be great! My e-mail is Sandric@go.com. Thanks.
