You can add me to the crowd that thinks it's a bit odd that all of the sudden we are seeing a big number of failed tire test and all the exact same, I personally like the idea that USAC went further with their testing to try and get it right and I think they at least said the right things in the press release to answer questions. I'm sure some people know more than others and I'm also sure that some people don't care for USAC and are looking for reasons to gripe. I have no issue with what "Extreme" did either, do your thing.
As far as USAC taking care of the "core" group, I'm sure they do. They need teams that will travel across the country a couple times a year for two or three races and they don't get that from most of the locals so I guess I would think that they try to help the 8 or ten teams that do as much as they can. At any rate, I do not see this as a green light to dope tires if people are, I think it is at the very least a shot across the bow to anybody that might have been but I suppose I am biased.
I've been a fan of JG for over ten years now, if he did cheat then I am disappointed but it will not keep me from going Saturday night to see my first race of the year and watch him and some others rip around L-burg. I am exited to get back to the track and out of the Lazy-boy. Maybe you will see me, I will be the big redhead with the Justin Grant tee shirt on underneath 18 layers of clothes trying to stay warm.
