I know when Bloomington first went to a spec RR Mike & Judy increased the sprint purse. That was a long time ago. I would think most tracks increased their purse too. Everyone just forgets.

Sandy as I remember mike telling us that hoosier gave them $ to add to purse or point fund or their pockets , and mike put it in our purse, and if I recall right he added it to the bottom 5 spots ?

I agree 100% run the same tire you qualify on and to check for prep no matter who it is check the first 3 and back through the field at random different positions every night so you never know if you will be checked or not

It was a long time ago but I think you are correct. Not sure if it was only 5 spots but I know it increased the start money.

Does anyone know if the sidewall construction of each tire is comparable?

Running 2 years with a wing car in Ohio and Pa. The only RR tire you could run was a MC3. And was cheap to buy. I can't remember any track that did not.

I was at Montpelier couple yrs back & Paul Hazen car won w/ a used American Racer, Paul said he was gonna use it again, the tire looked good, had plenty of tread left. What's the big deal about Hoosier tires? seems like every group uses them & they don't last, really wanna save racers money? use a tire that last.

On a side note, didn't Foyt's last 500 win run on one set of tires for the entire race? |
