I just did a track day that was in conjunction with a pro F2000 event. The soft slicks on the open wheel cars left a lot of tire rubber buildup all around the track and when I got home I noticed some tire rubber debris on my radiator screen along with several small pebbles stuck in the rubber. The mesh made it really easy to clean off and it's not really a big deal but the odd large pebble thrown off a rear tire could damage a radiator I would think.

Easy to avoid with a few bucks worth of mesh and a couple of hours work.
