After watching and keeping up with races for over 40 years, I still learn about race tracks, Thanks! Missing the World this year after 11 straight years, My Diabetics is taking over!
Sorry to hear that. Yeah, it is a great sport to be a fan of. There is always a new track or new type of car to check out and learn about.
You must legitimately be high right now if you believe that WoO and MARS talent level are even remotely similar.
If Eric Wells or Frank Heckenast ran the entire MARS series they would be right there challenging for the championship with Tony Jackson.. probably even leading over him -- and they are tied for 9th in the WoO.
The LOLMDS and WoO obviously are not equal in terms of talent right now but that statement has got to be one of the most blatantly ignorant posts I've read on here in a very, very long time.
And the heck with the woo or Lucas guys........lets talk about all these weekenders that won't be at eldora because of tire costs.....all the ones that will no longer be a factor or even be able to race eldora type tracks anymore?
You know, like all those weekenders that showed all the touring guys last night just how much more level the field is with series issued rubber.
Any of the sky is falling crowd want to talk about how far their heart sank in their chests listening and watching last night??

What?
First: When did I say the weekend guys wouldn't be at Eldora, I've been one of the people who said the grooving and siping rule is good.
Second: I don't see any mention of series issued rubber, just mandating no grooving and siping and and what compounds could or couldn't be used.
W2, that's fine if you feel that way. I'm not high, but you are entitled to your opinion. And for the record, there is a difference in being in the running at the top of the points just because you run all the races from being in the points because you run good. But like Old Fan, you missed the point. I never said MARS was as good as WOO.

I didn't miss the point, I fully understood what you said -- and it is still ridiculous.
How did you come to such a conclusion? Is there any data supporting your claim besides your bias against the WoO series and its drivers?

Question wasn't just for you Jeff.....but since you chimed in.
In almost every single one of your posts in the " other threads" you screamed how the little guys would no longer be able to afford buying sets of new tires for these big touring events when they come to town.....and how these car counts for said events were going to be cut drastically.....and I believe you even went as far as saying that we should all get used to just seeing mostly the touring guys only at these big events.
So don't start backpeddaling now chief........own it.
if mandating fresh uncut unsiped tires produces racing like we saw last night, then I would say you chicken little guys may as well cut and run while you can.......the stampede of thrilled fans are about to trample you underfoot.

First of all I wasn't aware that the World 100 was a touring event. Which tour is it a part of?
Also -- no backpeddaling needed. Mandating that you buy your tires from the series is not the same as mandating certain rules about the tires you run. When the WoO starts rolling into town telling drivers they can't use the tires that they run at their local track. That is when the issue arises. If the two tours starting saying you can't groove, or you can't sipe, or both then most of the tracks will probably go with the same rule and the drivers will be able to use their weekly tires at tour races just as they do now. No problem.
