I agree with JT and Don. Its going to take all the owners to make a stand!! Maybe its just me but its pretty obvious where the money comes from to give to the tracks, from the owners and drivers. Taking different options away does not create a competitive environment. If the tracks would have negotiated a set price that was competitive then they could possibly say they are helping us. It doesnt matter what tire you choose to run or for what reason. Im not saying one tire is better than the other let the racers and owners decide what is best. The amount of money in the point fund will not offset the difference in cost for us. Secondly, what if your not chasing points. I would wven be fine with you were not eligible for point money unless you ran hoosiers if they are giving money. If american racer can build a RR tire and sell it for 175. Im positive hoosier could to if they weren't giving the tracks thousands of dollars. I will support the open tire rule tracks also. I hate to say that since I live 6 miles from Bloomington. I will also support Montpeiler in the midget as they have an open tire rule there. Just as it seems to be a money thing for the tracks its a money thing for me as well.
