This is what I've learned from my time involved in racing...
Tire rules... People complain. No tire rules... People complain. It really doesn't matter what the rules are when people cant be satisfied by anything.

Great post. The other truth that I have learned is that the people that complain about rules to help the costs are the teams that the rules are trying to help the most.

I love this new rule for two reasons. This narrower, harder tire should unhook the cars somewhat and provide better racing. It should also help the lower budget teams stay more competitive once they get past the idea of having to buy a couple wheel halves they can probably find used for cheap. USAC could do one simple thing to curb the whiners by gaurunteeing the rule for a number of years, not just one!

I would imagine there will be a grace period and hoping there is, as we still have a few extra HT2 tires. If not that's fine to, we are going to keep racing and doing the best we can. I know everyone thinks open tire rules saves money, but if you ever raced karts you know it does not. The biggest expense in kart racing is tires! You literally have 20 plus sets of wheels and tires just to compete. I will not complain either way. I just want to race!!!!!!

Just my .02 from a winged Sprint crewchief. If you don't already have a tire grinder, you better invest in one. The ASCS medium has a tendency to seal over, on a winged car anyhow. Good tire otherwise. And yes we run them on a 18" wheel also.

Ain't that the truth? That is the exact reason that I am selling all my karting stuff and leaving all that nonsense behind me. |

If anyone wants to sell any new leftover tires they can no longer run, private message me and I may take them off your hands.
