Sorry - One last statement...
In regards to the people that keep pushing for a "HARDER TIRE" as an answer to solve the problem. I would urge you all to error on the side of caution. Take a look at CRASH CAR ( aka: NASCAR ) when they attempted to use 'harder tires' ... They bounced cars off the wall left and right due to a lack of grip and a side wall that would not give!
As expensive as midget racing already is - I dont think any of us want to wad up a car due to a hard tire.
I do agree, It would be nice to see something done to control the cost but what the answer to that question is? It's beyond me...
Possible Starter Areas:
Outlaw Carbon Fiber - it has no value in racing except to cost $$$$
Outlaw GAS Shocks - Get back to grandpa's steel body, 50/50 ratio shocks... No rebound control allowed
Outlaw Ti-bolts - again it has no value in racing except to cost $$$$
Maybe make: Combo cars standard - Not a bad idea, one car for both pavement and dirt! what a concept!
Anyone else care to add on to the list?
