It's been brought up w/others. At the end of the day, the tire co. & sanctioning body is in it to make money.
Selling more tires means more money. AND, the respective point funds are largely dependent on that money.

So, what's the answer? Not sure there is a concrete one outside of having the balls to hold Hoosier accountable.
But, how hard do you push when tire money is such a necessary part of an organization's cash flow & point-fund?
It just seems more & more like a self-fulfilling prophecy...

Maybe it's time to think outside the box...??
Feels like it's time. What do you think?

It's a tough one to solve, isn't it? I still can't find a better word to sum it up than conundrum. I'd say that since it evolved into what it is now, it will probably have to evolve away from it, assuming that it's even possible. Sounds like USAC has some changes in store for 2010, so we'll see. Money drives everything though, and that I don't think will change anytime soon.
