I think the point was why do you continue to race when all you do is complain about it ... most people do what they love ... not what they love to hate.
Anyway, the tires are a lot different than any other part of the race car, it is the single thing that is in contact with the race track. Tires, unlike almost any other part of the race car, can give a car such an advantage that it really doesn't matter what you do with your chassis, shocks, oil or wheels. Tire deals with one manufacturer is not a new concept, I don't care what type of racing you are talking about ... NASCAR, IndyCar, F1, ARCA, etc.
Isn't one of the reasons for having a single tire manufacturer to keep the cars more equal thus having better competition on the track for the FANS. Maybe I am wrong ...
My point about all the fans in the stands is that if all those people are in the stands ... it will be easier to get sponsors ... more money will come into the sport, which means teams will be able to spend even MORE money ... therefore increasing the cost.
I am sorry I look at midget racing from a positive standpoint and truly appreciate the great racing we have today. I refuse to believe that all the organizations and all the drivers that support them without complaining are stupid and part of some Purple Conspiracy.
