Tom, this has real potential!

I like the idea of repurposing earthmover tire inner tubes rather than disposing of them and potentially adding to the global warming from all the heat of combustion not to mention the nasty carbon emissions from burning the rubber!

Additionally, the slingshot effect as they unwind coming out of a turn or after launch is very appealing. Now I need to give a little thought about how to quickly re-tension them during the race in time to be ready for the next turn.

Shucks, I just remembered that I could also use this to mitigate the Trailing Torque Oversteer predisposition the car exhibits from time to time. I am not certain but the earthmover tire innertube mod might just be the USW (Ultimate Secret Weapon). Why didn't I think of this???
