Yeah, I had the same thing happen with me but, unfortunately, I couldn't let it go. When the VP of the company I worked for replied that the company made money rather than product, I replied that we...

Folks,

During the drivers' meeting Kirk told us the transponders could be kept for the weekend or turned in after the races Friday night and given back for Saturday - it was our choice.

While I appreciate the efforts of those who require/strongly suggest a fire suppression system for open wheel cars I am, and have been for some time, convinced that it is time for the fuel...

To explain this a bit further, I was re-educated about how the economics work in a publicly traded organization. I was always under the impression that the customers of the CEO of an organization...

Folks,

A local racer here just received two American Racer MC2 right rears. Assuming what he told me is true, which I have no reason not to believe him, he paid $600 for the two, including $60...

Folks,

To answer the question, yes, there are options to allow more races with the same tire(s). Hoosier still makes Silver Crown tires (as far as I know) up to the F85 and 95 tires used for the...

We can gripe and complain about this forever. How about some solutions? Are there things that can be done from a program perspective to deter the desire for doping? Assuming the tire is...
