Have all of the Indiana tracks adopted the USAC tire rules for their weekly races (non-wing sprint) or can you still run with the old tire rule. Lincoln Park, Bloomington, Lawrenceburg, Paragon namely.

Unfortunately I think Hoosier has monopolized all the Indiana tracks for sprint cars. I sure wish they would go back to the old ways of McCreary OR Hoosier !!!

The Indiana weekly tracks other than Paragon follow a Hoosier only rule, but none of them have implemented the new tire design only. Paragon allows you to run anything though I haven’t seen an American racer sprint tire in quite a while. Another thing I’ve never seen, any official at any local track check what tires were actually on the cars.

There are American Racers on sprint cars at Paragon.

Good to know. Haven’t been there this year yet and when I was there in the past I guess I didn’t look close enough.
