One tire per night is not an option. We are an extremely low budget team, but will use two and sometimes 3 right rear wheels with different offsets to tune the car to track conditions. We also take a tire that has some laps left in it and run hot laps / qualifying, and the heat race. Then mount up a new tire for the feature. The one tire rule would defiantly hurt lower budget teams who can't mount up a new tire every race. We try to get all of the good out of our tires. As someone else stated on here, competition cures a lot of problems. Hoosier has the monopoly in Indiana. They can tell us what ever they want, and can charge what they want, and if you are going to race a sprint car in Indiana right now, you are going to run Hoosier tires. That is the rule. IT sucks, but that's how it is now. Hopefully it will change, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
