2Things I said you can do and it Done.....
( He did have a solution, the big shows lets just get our tires off the Hoosier truck, no siping or grooving let us just bolt them on and race. Anyone tampers with a tire automatic disqualification. )
( Bottom line the best tire rule of all time was what UMP boss Bob Memmer put into place which was the 10-20-30-40 rule. You had something soft to qualify on and yet something hard enough to finish the feature on. Can we do something to the tire what Gundaker is suggesting yes but it will cost more money and the drivers and teams are already complaining about costs. ) I know one driver that had 4 tires he Q on and used them all summer get 4 or 5 races out of the Right rear...Said It cost him a lot more when they Stop this Rule....

Ok they dope tires so this happens ... if you run a 40 and they call it the tire fires up, and you get a yellow. It can Glase the tire over.. and then when it goes green it will not fire up this time...Dope the Tire and it Fires up every time.....Its not too make it last its too make it work....Every time ....

Yea some of them would Q better if they could run a 10 or 30.. I now some that are at the top of Q on a 10 but can not brake the top 10 on a 20 so it hurts 1/2 the drivers just cause they do better on them tires....bobs UMP was so MUCH better...He may have been a old nut, but When it came too racing dirt cars, He was a Very Smart man.....

You guys act like he's not human... Like he's a god... He messed up... And he's not going to win the 2016 World 100... He won't be any more determined than he is anytime he shows up at Eldora in 2017...

They say they do it to save money (to menny Tires).. But they all start on new tires .. a 30 cost just as much or as little as a 40. so were does it cost more....Some would never get a 40 if they could run on a 30.... Originally Posted by old fan

Its only 2 more tires ..Most of the time you have 1 10 too Q on and can use it menny times and the 30 is for the right rear so its not a lot of ties.. The other 3 wheels stay the same...For the 100 lapper you ether buy a 30 or a 40 depending on the track for right rear... Originally Posted by old fan

One thing that needs too stop, is one team paying 60 bucks for a tire, and the next 120 for the same tire....
