I see Hoosier, USAC and other big series post about shortages and yet no solutions. Make a change. Limit tires that can be used nightly. I mean to make a USAC show you need at least 4 new rears a night to have a chance. Local tracks could easily go to a one tire rule. It’s not the 80% of us that don’t have corporate funding burning through tires. It’s the major series’ that are using 4 to 6 tires in a single night, yet nothing changes. I’m not ******** because I can’t buy 4 tires a night. I’m concerned that the sport I’ve been involved in for 40 years is going to be on the ropes very soon if something doesn’t change, quickly. Tire companies say they can’t keep up. Then shut down a month to catch up. Either make some rule changes or open it up completely.
Made many USAC mains in the last few years running the same tire all night. The outliers are Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute where if you have a guy on the hammer you will blister a tire in the heat race.
