Boo hoo. Hoosier bought up all the sprint car tracks & series, drove out competition, and then complains about it and forces price increases.

Yup, that "You want em? "We don't have em" and if we do "Ya probably can't afford em" Pretty typical in many industries right now.

Was talking to the chief of a large fire department a couple of weeks ago. This department had ordered 5 new trucks late last year. When they were spect out the order called for Goodyears. The factory said that right now they couldn't get Goodyears but were able to get Michelins. Now they're saying they can't get any brand. Another department ordered a truck from a different manufacturer and was told it would take 22 months! Almost 2 years to get a firetruck! SMH

I am saving mine, in February I drove 48miles, in March only 41, just banana runs I call them, we don't go much anymore, obviously!
