I guess the owners and drivers have spoken loudly this weekend. 37 cars @ Paragon with an open tire rule. 38 cars at the BOSS race at Mansfield with an open tire rule. Only 21 at LPS and the MSCS with a Hoosier Tire rule.

The tire rule should be any tire that is $150 bucks or less per tire & available to every competitor is allowed !!!

Man I guess I need new reading glasses, I don"t see anything about what you"re trying to say. How many of the cars that run Paragon, run anywhere else but Paragon? Dam few. The new cars you got this weekend are ones who went to the back yard when the big dogs came and took over the front poach

I dont know the total reason why there were so many cars at paragon. What i noticed was the winner was past champion. I am a paragon regular. I would run lps and have before the tire rule. Like alot of guys racing now we are 40 hr a week guys that have to get best bang for the buck. No to mention you hear so many guys have a tire deal on a tire rule not good.

I'm speaking strictly from a fan perspective, but does any other tire company contribute back to contingencies and points funds as Hoosier? If they do, they hide it well. Maybe you pay a little more for their products and get a little more back from them. Just a fans perception

From a fan arguing over tires keeps me away from races.

The only people that get anything back is the ones that brings home the $3K and $4k wins. Almost everyone else that bring back $300 or less pays full price so they are subsidizing the racing of the guys that can actually afford the higher price.

Does anyone remember what the spec tire rule was at Lincoln Park in 1999?
