I'll stick my nose in here too, for what it is worth.....

I believe that ratracer49 should stick his nose in this whenever he wants, because he is making perfect sense and I agree with everything in his post. It is all about money and consistency. Dick is right about tires on asphalt too, it is WAY to expensive, and you go through them like candy at Halloween.

I still think race tracks should get out of the tire business. Enough of the marriage to one distributor. Let the drivers get whatever tire they want, from whoever they want. Enforce sizes and let em race. Eventually everyone will find their way with tires. Walk through the pits and talk to different drivers and you quickly learn that they all have their own philosophy and strategy on tires. Our pits are already filled with experts!!!!

I know I'm biased, but you do a great job Duane. I love the recap. Even though I was sitting right there, I always have a memory bump whenever I read through it.

Keep up the good work, and please keep posting it here.
