Slices on slicks. Any ideas?

I noticed these marks on my tires yesterday at the track while loading up. I usually race at milan and its got stones everwhere. I was at norwalk for the night under fire event this weekend and its nice and clean there. This is the first time I got to see the slicks so clean off of the track. I have no idea what can be causeing this else then the rocks at milan?

To add the slicks are about 1 year old. And 28x10s. I dont see any way it can be rubbing on anything but I also have never seen marks like this on it last fall when i ran them at norwalk. About 30 passes so far this year mainly at milan.

Re: Slices on slicks. Any ideas?

check the sheetmeatal in the inner wheel well down by the lca mount on the body side , i had to hammer mine back just a lil bit , though if that was rubbing it would only leave marks in the inner edge of the slick near the sidewall

chances are theres lil pebbles or something imbeded in the burnout box

Grooves in the burnout box will do that
