Well they probably "had" to do it, or risk losing the money Hoosier brought to the table, which I am sure is a substantial portion of the crown purses and/or point fund. In return hoosier is giving competitors 2 free rears. I also believe they agreed to sell the tires at basically the same price of an American Racer, but don't qoute me on that. So either run Hoosiers or don't race, that's the choice. I think most would rather race and have respectable purses than trying to squeeze a second race on a front tire. Most series have a 4 corner rule, it is nothing new. I don't know what people expect honestly. It's not like sponsors are jumping to throw money into a silver crown race or any race for that matter. They are going to take money from wherever they can, and if that means everyone has to run the same tire so be it. Everyone would complain if they cut purses in half so it's lose lose.
