I was involved in the 1st meeting for starting 360 here in MI w/ the Lacombe Bros, I went through every Open Wheel magazine & Circle Track I had looking for ideas for rules & gave to them, they adopted everyone
. Even the $1500 claim for the heads which kept a lot of hi dollar stuff out, but along comes ASCS we had to adopt or lose car count
I was at a race & Paul Hazens car won on a used American Racer tire, Paul said he'd use it again it still looked good
I've seen all kinds of "Rules" to save money over the yrs
they don't work. Saw a crate Late Model race once, it was boring, only passing was done if car in front screwed up, wouldn't go again. Jim Hanks of Must see Racing did tire testing, the American Racer was a better tire than Hoosier so why are racing organizations mostly going w/ Hoosier??
