TIRES
The race did demonstrate one "flaw" in Suraycer. We had only three flat tires during the race. We should have had more. If we had used tires with thinner tread, the lessened friction would have saved a hour over the 45-hour race. more than compensating for the extra 15 minutcs[sic] or so that would been lost handling another dozen flats. Stopping, changing a wheel and re-accelerating cost about two minutes...while the extra charge accumulating from the sun the interval could later be used to make up some of the time lost.

Interesting strategy.
