Now if you get rid of the tire rule to compete you have to have atleast 9 right rears with different compounds to get it right depending on what the track does. Obviously some people won't do that and some races won't matter as boss sorta polices itself same with Paragon but if you are competing for wins at an MSCS race, USAC race, or any bigger show your tire bill just tripled.

You have teams now that have multiple RR mounted to get stagger, Look inside a few of the stacker trailers that are at LPS on saturday night and start counting tires and wheels mounted up. All you have to do is go to the tire trailer or Hoosier and spend the time to go through chalk marks and start picking tires and spending money. Tire rule or not sometime you will never outspend the guy willing to spend the money. What we need is a rule that allows cars to get to the track, if all you have is 5 to 10 guys that can afford the overpriced rule tire the stands will soon be empty and dirt sprint cars will be where pavement sprints and midgets are now. A tire rule needs to benefit the owners and drivers and not just the tracks and manufacturers.
