The trouble with a lot of the series right now is that they have contracts with Hoosier for the exclusivity. Hoosier in return kicks in a little bit to the point fund. Hoosier doesnt want to hear a series say they are going to a 2 trie rule a night or limiting how much teams can test. Hoosier after all is wanting to sell as many tires as possible per night and have made an investment with each series through extra $ or adding to these point funds. The compounds many sereis are using right now could be harder to get more out of the tires but I'm sure Hoosier discourages this. In my opinion the Tire companies are the real EVIL and why the cost is so high to compete on pavement. A smart pavement series would NEVER sign a contract with Hoosier and open the tire deal up to Goodyear and American Racer. It would keep pricing competitive for starters.
