You think organizations that make you get your tires at the track don't have favorites? I know this to be fact that there are teams prepping tires in these organizations that pick their tires up THAT DAY...
Doesn't mean they weren't allowed access to the tires previous and prepped and done whatever, you go open the tire barn and the smell of prep knocks you down. It's even pretty easy to walk by a set of tires and say, "Those are prepped." Don't think this would stop it, because it doesn't! Picking the tires up that day would stop most from doing it, but there would be a few who still do it. A travelling series could get away with it for a while, but they still have "regulars" that will be there and they will get access to the tires before hand. They usually allow you access to the tires weeks in advance to measure and choose "your" tires. So that makes it hard for a travelling series to carry tires with them and make that work, as time at an event is an all day thing anyway with today's class line up. It's just not viable, and no one would go for it without access to the tires well in advance to get the set they want mainly due to time restrictions allowing time to get ready. It's a waste of time arguing this. Yeah, we all done it 20 years ago, yeah we still do it now on a much larger scale. No it won't stop, and yes even if it did the ones winning now would still be winning!
