Yeah Scott, I thought of the consquences of the two tire rule, but I don't know how much longer I'm going to do this and ultimately, I'm a fan first and a driver second. I would much rather see a 25 guys like Tim Cox, Geoff Kaiser, Jason Blonde, Sam Davis and yes, even guys like me rather then 6 millionaires spending twice as much as their making.
And my appoligies to Duke if I'm not good enough in his mind to run a USAC race. But I bet if I would show up, they would great me with open arms. And by the way, in looking at the top ten in HOSS points, nine of the ten have non-winged expierence in either a sprint or midget. And the tenth was our rookie of the year. So don't say we won't take the wing off.
I love watching a USAC race either on dirt or pavement. And I equally like a winged race on either surface also. Like I said, I'm a fan first. I work a fifty hour week as an engineer and I do race on a budget. And unlike others on this board that blow their accomplishments way out of proportion (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I am a mediorce driver at best. But I love this sport and I'll be going to races long after I've quit a driver. I just don't want to see it die because of a stupid thing like tires.
