          Some of the rules were changed over the years when they allowed cars that didn’t conform to the rule book to race in Florida. Since it was allowed in Florida it just became the new rules. Other rules are just ignored and it’s became the new normal even though the rules were never actually changed.

            They were washing tires in between races with soap and water in a kitty pool. It’s not that serious folks

              Not that serious... Really ? What I read is they come come in your trailer and inspect without any notice. Legally there opening up a big can of worms. Just shows how powerful Hoosier trully is. This 3 hr prior rule is laughable. Hoosier wants sales, they could careless about anything else.

                I think Drop Shock is saying the issue was not serious and no rule was needed. That seems to be a common theme these days.

                  Bingo, the people in charge of late model racing just can’t seem to get out of their own way

                    I couldn't agree more Drop Shock. The Lunacy is off the charts. Every time I think it's peaked, they outdo themselves again.

                      Can't disagree with either of you. What makes good sense to many they just ignore.

                          This is the same company that blamed the cars for the tires blowing out at Eldora last year. Corporate entites never admit fault.

                            Heard that the tires was being put in a deep freezer inside the 10 hauler after he took them out of the kiddy pool. Does freezing a wet tire change the compound or what is reason for this ?

                              Rubber is harder, the lower the temperature. It also loses elasticity. Obviously, it's going to warm up pretty quickly once it hits the track.

                              You might give up speed at first, to be better on lap 4.

                                Im no fan of Cody or Garrett Smith, I don't see how this is cheating or how it should be considered a big deal? It's not like that car was running off and hiding from the competition to begin with. It sounds like it was more work than what it was worth with the results they were getting.

                                I wish whoever was complaining about this would complain about how goofy the bodies look on some of these cars.
