Bloomquist/Owens Lawsuit and World 100 Predictions

[dirtdobber45]

So do you think they don't buy a minimum of 4 to 6 tires off the Hoosier trailer or from their tire supplier before they go to a race anyway???( I'm talking about the touring guys)No big deal if they buy them at the track from the sanction( who should be able to negotiate a very nice qty discount anyway) or if they buy 6 from somewhere else.And for what it's worth, Mark is the last guy that should be griping .......have you ever seen what they come to the track mounted up with in terms of tires?

I understand what your saying BBQ but most times theyll buy one here and there and save them up for the world. Not buying them all at one time cause they cant afford that

Instead of boycotting Lucas as someone has suggested maybe boycott the World

Mark Richards has all the reason in the world to be griping, he makes his living off selling chassis to his (mostly grassroots level) customers who are not the touring guys. If they can't afford to race they won't be buying any chassis off of him. I don't think it would really hurt the house car itself, but I do think it would hurt their business. I'm sure there are plenty of guys who show up to an LOLMDS show or WoO show with maybe a couple new tires and a big used inventory.

True enough on the regional guys coming with used tires on the truck.......I guess I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's cheaper for them to buy the 6 from the track untouched or buy the amount of undetectable prep , the tools to prep them with, the rotisserie , the electricity to run the tools and just the overall pain in the butt it is to do all that and then the costs associated from buying the tire they prep initially.
Then factor in all of these dr. Visits from all of these health implications everybody keeps talking about with prep and it's a no brainer......just buy the new tires from the track and skip all of that.

I really can't imagine there being a whole lot of cost differences when you factor all that in........


On the Mark Richards thing.........he is still going to sell all the regional chassis he can make, and I think you know that.

Grass roots guys are buying used rockets......not the 45 k xr1s

I get that too dobber........I guess my mind works differently.

If I was that guy and could only buy one here or there instead of all at one time, instead of buying one at a time I would just stuff that money in my tire jar every time I could afford to buy a tire and then when I got to eldora I would just buy them all at the same time with the money I stuffed in the jar.

And what they are doing now is far from perfect........but it's a lot closer to perfect than what they changed from......and will keep the series from getting themselves into a predicament like they have themselves in now.
