I believe the topic is tire rules and how they might encourage more owner participation in midget racing. As a fan seeing car counts continuing to diminish I try to go the extra mile to understand any owner's thoughts. I think its counter productive to do otherwise.
I have never seen any post by Mr. Moore implying that he is looking for a "return on his investment". If more of us voiced concerns to sanctioning bodies, promoters and anyone else we thought we could persuade that a tire rule based on the greater good for the sport would put more cars on the track I personally believe we are better off. Its time to engage in some critical thinking on the costs involved and simply trying to kill the messenger won't do much good.
Narrower wheels, harder compounds and an open tire rule may be a great start. I haven't heard anybody say it wouldn't work, only that it isn't likely. Nothing is likely if no one pushes for it.
