WoO signs Goodyear as tire

I find it hilarious that Hoosier is getting a taste of what it's like to get bought out buy a bigger company. That's all it is.

here's my view, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!! The Outlaws and AllStars done this for the "point money". Good Year ponied up more cash than Hoosier. The really sad part is unless GoodYear spends ALOT of money on the local tracks this is only going to hurt the car counts in both series. The local guys aren't going to spend the money to buy GoodYears when they have a trailer full of Hoosiers. The AllStar Mid-West series will really suffer they depend on the locals more than anybody, and for 2,000 to win who's going to spend 400 to 600 for tires. The other kicker is GoodYear isn't giving out any tire deals. I was told this by an AllStar driver that knows what he's talking about at the last Terre Haute race. All in all I see this as a bad deal for every body fans, racers, track promoters Every BODY!!!

IMO, it really won't change a thing....the teams that want to compete in WoO shows will buy tires from Goodyear...and if they have to buy three of four tires, they will. Racers seem to have an endless budget when it comes down to doing SOMETHING THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO DO! So, if they want to run a WoO race, they'll find a way.

Yes, a few will stay away; but it's just as likely that little will change.........

About as much chance of that happening as Erin divorcing Ray and marrying me.

[QUOTE=Lucky161;139694]I would suggest that sheet metal does very little to reduce injuries. And even if it did, that would be an issue of the car not the tire. And even if a sprint car driver does stand a lot higher chance of injury than a stock car driver, which I am not so sure they do.QUOTE]

All I can say is this dude smokes crack. A nearly open cockpit car is not near as safe as a fully wraped up stock car. And dont come back with this dumb stuff about its the cars fault, their sprint cars aka real race cars. Not shoe boxes with tires. And just some fyi if a winged sprinter barrels off into the corner at a 1/2 mile track and say the RR does blow its gonna be a far worse outcome than a nascrap car hittin the wall.
