John,

I am aware of Dave DeHem. He was the gentleman I was speaking of. When I presented this idea to him, he was polite, but told me his “business plan” did not allow for multiple tire brands.

My suggestion above is for any series that is just starting up and looking for car count. The BOSS series is probably the hottest thing going in the sprint car world. And after running with them this summer, I realized their “business plan” is “if it looks like a sprint car and smells like a sprint car, it is a sprint car, come run with us.” A lot of series owners could follow their lead.
