I am just an idiot fan, who knows nothing, but what I'd like to see for tires in USAC pavement racing...

Run any brand or combination of brands, any compound, any stagger you want. Tire companies make deals with the racers and/or owners (not the sanctioning body) and offer incentives to them for winning with that tire company rubber. They get 50% of the incentive for winning with the RR, 75% for both rear tires and 100% for all fours. Or maybe owners get a price discount for using their tire and winning. I think this creates competition among companies and could be billed as "Sprint car tire wars" to make it maybe more interesting for fans.

Make the RR NARROWER. Maybe the same width as the LR. I don't know what this does as far as wear, heat cycles, blistering, etc., but I would like to see the driver finesse that throttle even more to keep those tires from spinning up off the turns.

Just my uneducated opinion. Somebody who is in the know can feel free to correct what I said.
