Therefore if my car is going to have a shot at winning I have to bolt on new tires each time my competition does. If we all have only one set then there is no competitive disadvantage.

I totally believe this, as I have seen it myself at the USAC office...Hoosier Tire and Beast MFG may as well have an office in the USAC building..they are at almost all the meetings...and those are two that are not going to let many changes be made. These ideas have been gone OVER and OVER about cutting costs...Hoosier will wait until pavement racing fails first.
If they are not going to listen to Rob Hoffman...who will they listen to?
