I see people at the Ax with Hoosier tires, and they have little cradles for their tires I assume so they dont get flat spots. I have had my Victoracers on for the last week. I have driven the car, so it hasnt been sitting, Im just too lazy to change back when there is a race on Saturday. Is this a bad habit? Whats the skinny on R Compound tires and leaving the car stationary for longer periods of time?

they may flat spot, but steel belted (someone correct me if I'm wrong) don't hold the flat spot like bias ply do. So if they do go and drive them around a bit to round them out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
