I kind of liked watching AJ> JP>Parnelli>the Unser's>Mario>The Benttenhousen brothers and a bunch of other guys of the later age racing one another side by side, running ChevyII's> Falcons>Porsche's>Sesco's and even VW's. Using skinny little tires> roll bars>shoulder holsters to hold them in place and respect for one another's ability. Those guys could flat drive a race car. Times have changed>>>good racing does not really depend only on large car counts. The car counts help protect the promoter. The fans that once filled the grand stands are gone for good>>>>they have been replaced by fans who love to race, and they are in the pits. Skinny tires do make a difference>>>>if you can't get the Horsepower of that cheater motor to the track because the tread width is too narrow>> all of a sudden the race is in control of the driver and experienced set up man. The cheaters are those guys in the back burning up their hard skinny little tires.

There is another post on IOW about a TQ race that looked like a freight train and about the racers in the bunch did not appreciate some young gun out there racing with them and threatening to mess up their paint jobs and chrome work>> those complainers belong in the grand stands where they belong. If you get the cars to be more competitive with one another and passing and jockeying for position who knows you might get a better front gate turn out.

Now that we have the Horsepower Numbers of the National Midgets Bumping 400+ horsepower isn't it is about time they come up with a 15 or 16 inch right rear tire to help the racers hook up better.
