"I don't know about you, but just about everybody that has investments has lost about half of their account balance to the economic downturn. So.. The new tire policy... What's in it for me to get excited about? Well... Not a whole lot that I can see. Don, don't compare a race car with an investment. That would be like me getting upset when they come out with a new set of golf clubs and obsolete old technology Maybe I'm missing something, but If I'm still going to pay $140-180 for tires, regardless of brand, isn't this kind of like somebody telling you that you've won the lottery and you're going to get $10 back? Or ...maybe $5?

How much money am I gonna save for an evening of midget racing with this new tire policy? Well.. It didn't say in the press release that I read. So have we accomplished anything? If the tire prices haven't changed, with the exception of running, maybe, fewer tires for the evening, Don, listent to what you just said - fewer tires for the evening! You have answered your own question. what is the gain?"

Don, it is evident that unless placed on the board of directors of the sanctioning body that you would like to race with and are given full reign on rules that you simply won't be happy running about anywhere.
