Little 500 - Hoosier Tires Only....

Well it looks like Anderson has decided to dump the American Racer Tires for the Little 500. Anyone that was planning to race the ART might as well leave them behind. Last I heard the RR would be a $58.00 premium over the normal hooiser RR pricing. I expect the other tires to increase as well.
2012 LITTLE 500 RULEBOOK TIRES: TIRES: Tires limited to 20-inch cross-section maximum (measured with hoop). All cars must start the 2012 Little 500 on the same tires that were used to qualify their car. Cars in violation of this rule shall be moved to the rear of the field and penalized (1) one lap. All cars must utilize “Hoosier” tires. All tires for the event must be purchased at Anderson Speedway during the event or at the Glen Niebel Classic on April 29, 2012. The event begins with practice on Tuesday, May 22th and ends at the conclusion of the Pay Less Little 500.

Guess I don't understand, maybe someone can explain to me. Isn't must see racing the "sanctioning body" of little 500? I am assuming they are running American racer tires again this year? Would make more sense to let racer make a choice between hoosiers or american racers. Guess I miss the old days when the little 5 was a kind of a "run what ya brung". Miss seeing the old roadsters that used to show up.

More than likely hoosier bought the exclusive rihts to it and are paying some of the purse.
How many teams last year were on American Racers? Posted via Mobile Device |
