While I don’t like monopolies, it is going to be extremely difficult to change the current business model. IF a track or sanctioning body chooses to have open competition for tires, then they have to convince a manufacturer or distributor to bring enough tires for the field, for every race of the season, with no guarantee that the manufacturer or distributor will make expenses any, let alone every, night. In the current economy, that is a BIG risk. Unless a major tire manufacturer decides to get back in to short track racing, I just don’t see another player having the financial nest egg to risk it trying to dethrone Hoosier.
