    Hoosier tires decision on blowouts at Eldora "it's not us, it's you"

    They recommend teams run a min. 15psi on RF and reduce camber. Hoosier also states that there is nothing different about the construction of the LM tire lines.

        They changed things. The tires soften with a heat cycle. They didn't blow out before. Cars are not running more camber than before. You didn't need 15 psi before.

              You would be wrong. Lucas Oil had nothing to do with the World 100.

                      Camber and tire pressures don't cause inner sidewalls to split on a RF tar

                        Just a quick off subject question James, why didn't Knoxville have you and the team from Flo announce the races the Lucas races at Knoxville ? My wife and I missed your announcing, the Knoxville guys may know their sprint cars but aren't very knowledgeable about Late Models especially the Australian in the pits.

                          james and DJ were at knoxville all weekend. Post covid hoosiers have had a ton of quality issues not just the late model tires

                            I know that they were at Knoxville announcing on Flo but at the track they would not play their announcing or pit interviews for the people in the grandstands, they used the Knoxville announcers which were not very interesting or intelligent to Late Models.
