Tires smoking is tires sliding on surface. Sliding tires are out of control. Out of control is on the edge of crashing. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. At a big bracket race at Speedworld I was race director and I expressed my feelings that making smoke your out. I told the racers it up to them how to handle it. Majority wanted to be tossed for smoke.
During elims a car made smoke and I tossed them. They came to me and wanted to show me the frozen caliper on car. Sure enough 1 was frozen and tire would not turn by hand. I reinstated them and they did replace caliper.
