Knowing what I know about cost of the tires I have to choose from I'm buying a set of American Racers and going to the track that has the open tire rule.
To be honest even knowing I the quality of cars that run USAC and the Talent I am more likely this year to go run a USAC show knowing I am only forced to run a RR specific tire. Letting me save money on the other 3 corners will allow me to be able to figure a more expensive RR into the deal for a night.
You guy's have convinced me that having a hardness rule is necessary, Yet it should always be open to a harder compound.
I've yet to see how a four corner rule helps anyone. It might help the track. But IMHO it hurts racing If someone can run for several thousand less in a season. They should be able to have that option.
