In the first post, I was speaking of the years of USAC and local tracks going to the DT-3 rule because that seemed to be where you felt like it wasn't a "Deal" and it did not save you money. It does save money compared to the RD-12 that you also spoke of. I am not here to to tell you your opinion of the tire is wrong. I just wanted to state what the prices where so everyone would know the true facts. Sorry to have upset you!

Chris, I am sorry but we are the Midwest Distributor for the tires and we are not the manufacturer, so I cannot(because we don't know) tell you the cost to manufacture the tire. I have to state that even if I did I would never release that information just the same as Whirlpool would not tell you what it costs to manufacture a washing machine. In a business sense that would not be smart.
Additionally, I cannot disclose what a track or sanction gets because that is a contract between Hoosier Tire and the Track or Sanction. I do not think if you called Goodyear and asked about their contract with Nascar that they would answer you either.
I am sorry to not be more helpful.
Thank you for the reply, Susannah. See you at Eldora!
