This sounds like a good and fair plan. If there are specific chemicals that are health concerns, not day to day household items, specify and make the penalty permanent. Make three compounds available to race and if they are miss-marked, Make the penalties permanent. The ones that get miss-marked tires, know they are getting them. That is why they had to buy a big lot to get them. No matter how you write rules, there will always be some kind of advantage that needs addressing. By opening up the rules, it gives more legal tire selection and less options to gain a unfair advantage that would be small at best. If they want to take siping and needling away, fine, but should be able to re groove on factory pattern. Just making groove wider to get a new edge. This would allow the used tire buyer a way to save money, at the cost of a little performance, as it is now.

Best bet would be for the Sanctioning Bodies to work directly with Hoosier and American Racer and have them only produce Late Model tires in 3 or 4 compounds and tread patterns.
Then you can have an open tire rule, or make it no grooving and siping, only buffing.

Hoosier doesn't want to compete with AR. Hoosier likes having guaranteed income. For what its worth, and it was many years ago, a guy from the Midwest went to a race in the south and his crew chief said to me "we were the best of the Hoosier guys and qualified 9th. The rest were on AR and we just couldn't run with them."
Two companies means competition, racers are going to use whatever is superior. And to make a superior tire (assuming the other companies tires are better) means R&D, and R&D is money spent, cutting into profit.
The last thing Hoosier wants is competition. And they have spent a lot of money in court making sure their binding agreements are legal and binding to keep competition out of the tire choice in as much racing as they can control.
So basically while it's a great debate, people are kind of stuck with whatever rules Hoosier decides is in Hoosier's best interest where Hoosier is in control.

wake up tnie UMP has always been hoosier what major sanctioning body for late models run american racers also and the sanctioning bodies are in control; not hoosier american racer can't cut the mustard with quanity of tires either for 13 classes now can they american racers are allowed in woolms but guess what is winning and he would be winning on any tire

You edited this. I still can't read it. American Racer is a superior tire depending on the track in question and the comparable compounds you choose to compare. The 56 AR is vastly superior to the Hoosier 1640/LM40.
The Hoosier can't heat cycle for crap. The 56 just keeps going and going until you wear it out.

really no one in woolms has done well with it and they have a open tire rule most of the season and its not about being superior but having enough and delivering enough tires for i think last count was 13 classes

13 classes? This is a LM board. No top WoO team runs AR. Of course it hasn't won. Plus, the issue I described is for second and third use. Not a new tire. I have actually won on 3 year old ARs.
UMP doesn't even have the balls to throw out a World 100 "winner" with an illegal LR suspension. They are useless. You are defending the indefensible.

I'm afraid to ask, but what LR illegal suspension are you talking about?
And 100%, they shouldn't mandate Hoosiers. It's all about $$$$. AR is a good tire. But money talks.

You talked about his beloved UMP and Hoosier. It's on like Donkey Kong.

would be great if Yokohama would jump into the tire game for DLM.......or someone similar.
Anytime there is a monopoly it's only good for the monopolizer............the monopolized are reduced to sheep that must follow the rest of the heard.
Some good healthy tire competition would be a nice change of pace...imo.
