Ha! I was thinking I mighta bought 3 new tires a YEAR when I raced...(but one time I had one - thanks to my crew chief/supporter for some races - we won the Dash & got 2nd in the feature...not a bmara race but another National Midget race at APS). Only bought them when I had the money though (thanks to sponsors and however I could keep the bank account balanced). Good for those that have what they need to be able to buy them more often (if they can get them; now) - I'll never forget how bad I squeaked writing the check for the last one I bought (& then it was outlawed over the off-season). Wished I had a few with just a few laps on them I could sell...

Look, I’m certainly not trying to “bash” anything, but if we can’t ask questions, then why do we have a “forum”.
The decision is to allow the purchase of one RR tire at each show. My previous question still stands, “who was buying more than one tire a night?” We weren’t/aren’t front runners, but I feel like I’m pretty cognizant at the track and would notice who is rolling out with new rubber for the feature. I know we have had a few nights were the track ate up tires, but one of those was a fifty lapper.
I think the logistical questions of how exactly you are going to run an 84x12 Chili Bowl tire on a 10” rim is a fair question. To us, the soft RR fears are going to become a self correcting problem because you can’t get the stagger right with an 8” LR, so if somebody wants to tackle that hassle, they can have it.
If you’re not prepared to have a public discussion on these matters, don’t post it to a public forum. I don’t see where anything Spfld Kid asked was out of line.

I’ll let you know how it turns out next week. I’ll be at Sycamore, and Angell Park the two weekends after that. If we have access to one tire a night, there’s no issue.
And yes, I have Quinn’s number and we do attend all the meetings. I predict the ones who will be crying the loudest are the one’s who don’t attend the meetings.
And to prove I’m no troll:

Didn't see him call anyone a troll except people like me who would comment on this as I have no involvement in the series.
A you can run any hoosier you like. It has to run all night. And if you need a hoosier they have em, But you can only buy one a night (So those who could afford them don't buy ten of the twenty they have *Just a example*)
At least thats what I take from it.
