Im starting to think this thread would have just been totally dissapeared in the Bill G days. Or the accusations removed and closed to further commenting.

Why would the 5m have tires sampled when it missed both shows at Volusia? |

Testing Tires is like getting a COVID test....false positives....false negatives...just keep testing until you get the desired result. It all depends on the result your looking for. This I know...where there is smoke, there is always fire.

Like I said earlier, any time you can't test something at the track, you're burning daylight, people usually don't like reruns, and will doubt your qualifications.

I don't have a dog in the fight. I am not a driver, mechanic or car owner, just a fan who wants to see good racing without controversy. It would seem to me that all this controversy about doping as well as mandatory tire brands specified by tracks or sanctioning bodies could be done away by with mandating a specific minimum durometer hardness. An official could walk down the line up chute and check it before qualifying, heat races and feature. Or, tires could checked by the track at sign in and have a sticker applied. At sign in teams could check their tester against the track's tester so they could check their tires at the shop or when they purchased them. More suppliers would provide competition that would lower costs and as TQ29 says, it would happen in real time at the track.

I honestly don't understand the mandated tire or at least brand rule. Sure someone is getting some $$ somewhere but it sure isnt the teams that used to have tire sponsorships that cut their yearly bill by significant amount

I thought you said in a previous thread you were DONE. If you want to have political conversation/accusation or make just make dumb statements, freedom of speech allows you to do that. Please just do it on other forums. Thank you for understanding.

After reading all of these posts it appears most if not all have spoken to someone and have an idea about who did what. Getting upset at people for discussing their knowledge with refrain from stating sources but not calling out the sanction body for basically the same thing is detrimental to your point. Hopefully a solid decision is made before next Saturday. I know I’d be apprehensive about running the show if I had no faith that Usac was keeping things on a level field. |
