Was gonna buy a one night pass for the video but cant figure out how. Everything I see is for all three nights.

(This link is JUST for tonights race... not the 3 day pass)

No offense, but I would rather watch the cars battle to the line than the starter throwing the checkers.

Yeah, they need to put Mills in charge ASAP!

How did the new wider Hoosier tire work?
:32:

Re: Ocala Night One
 

That's the new HT2.....Robert said they did the same thing last night in practice. This is going to be an expensive year.

Some guys put on DT3's and they did the same thing. These tires seemed to wear instead of blister. Personally I think with a little better track prep we will be just fine.

Re: Ocala Night One
 

I will agree - this isn't necessarily a problem with the new tire. This is a dry, slick, rubber down race track problem....and posting the pictures was a way of showing what a track like that will do to a racers pocket book....not everyone gets to see the after effect of a track like that....and hopefully it will help the track prep people see that a little water will go a long way. That's only my opinion though and I'm not a racer so I'm no expert. ;)

It worked well, they laid rubber much faster with all that extra contact patch. :26:

Tim is right, the track prep definitely didn't help the situation.

Correction on finish - Hagen got disqualified after he went to pits but scales were moved from pits to infield for feature. They did announce they were moving scales at drivers meeting but he didn't hear that.

Re: Ocala Night One
 

Check these out...:47:

Re: Ocala Night One
 

Guess some teams have found out that whoever is selling tires deals in cash only, no credit/debit cards, one or two that I talked to didnt know if they would be able to stay,they brought some cash but have spent it on tires already.

Re: Ocala Night One
 

Those tires look like they went a hundred miles at Langhorne. When are the racers going to get together and put a stop to such BS. Trust me, there are compounds that won't do that but Hoosier has em suckered. The promoter obviously doesn't know what he is doing on track prep either. Rubber down racing ends up looking just like winged racing. I wouldn't spend a dime on it. Too bad though for the racers and fans who did. I hope it gets better tomorrow and the video feed is problem free.

Re: Ocala Night One
 

What did it do to the Left Rear?

What size of crowd turned out?

Re: Ocala Night One
 

I think Hoosier did a good job with the tires. Nearly everyone completely wore out the rears but there was not a single blown tire. Try that with Goodyear. Hopefully someone will steal Bubba's sheeps foot while someone else digs it up and puts some water beneath the surface for the next shows.

Re: Ocala Night One
 

This is a bunch of S--T, I thought they only weighed the 1st 3. Thats all USAC knows how to do, They aren't smart enough to check engines, fuel, or traction control. Bunch of KIDS!!

Re: Ocala Night One
 

Im having a great time The racing is good and the weather was awesome,
78 at race time shot in a tshirt, I love it. Night two coming up.

Lefts were about equally bald. Its not the ht2 it's the sandy track that's packed harder than concrete with the shape of the track requiring you to be sideways with a lot of wheel spin. Dt3s would have blistered like crazy early in the night probably much worse than the ht2. Then it would have laid rubber and they would be just as bald. bring these tires back to indiana and you will see much much better results. All you dt3 supporters have never seen a dt3 at say oskaloosa where every single block is blistered after hot laps and each heat race and would only last half the feature.

Correct - everything I have heard is - it's not the tire (at least not in this instance) it's the track...or at least the way the track was for night 1.
