Dave,
Thanks for listening and having an open mind in regards to reviewing the tire rule over the winter.
Hope you and your group can come up with some type of solution.
I appreciate you coming on here and having an open cival discussion, more times than not it seems like that it is difficult to do that here.
I do know for a fact that the rule has weighed on various teams decisions not to make the trip down.
It is not the anticipation of a tire going down in the feature, it is the opportunity to have a chance to obtain the results you were looking for, ultimately a win.
I will take a second chance anytime, to make that happen.
If you were to ask most of the fans, I think they would rather see a Schuremburg, a Stanbrough a Bland or a Bacon charging from the back of the pack after they had a flat and changed it, rather than not seeing them participate in the feature after such an incident.
P.S. dont tell a true racer he doesn't have a chance to win from the back, you might just make him mad. Some of the best races I have witnessed are when a hot shoe is in the back working their way to the front with the hope of winning.........
Thanks
Dave Bayless
