Let us know how well you do in the off season comp, and good luck!

We still pop rivet our tread on, and it holds beautifully. The only problem is that our tread - at least the last time we used it - wore out pretty quickly, so replacing it got pretty tiresome.
Another alternative I've seen is using threaded inserts with pre-drilled tread (so that the holes in the tread line up with the inserts).
