I understand how it all works currently, I guess my question would be to you then , why can't Hoosier bring a tire to the track that's race ready already grooved and siped.......It may not be to the drivers style of grooving and siping,but will eliminate the blistering issue..........I'm on the side of running whatever open tire you want, but since that's not going to happen, what would you propose?The current collection system and good old boy look the other way deal because of who you are clearly isn't working...........it's almost laughable.

does hoosier know what the track conditions will be any time of the night I think not

I heard two things on Twitter, made by a driver. One everyone knew what tires they where checking before the races. It was stated at the drivers meeting. And one that said LOLM made 2 pages of rules against one driver and still let the majority of the top ten, prep their tires.

Curious what the record is for most posts??? Views?

Either the "prayer chain" thread or "last one to post" thread. Well over 20 pages. No idea how many views. Probly 30-40 thousand.

Reason #1473627 why I've always been a Billy Moyer fan instead of a Scott Bloomquist fan. Both the greatest to ever do it, but you won't find Mr. Smooth involved with this crap.

My jaw just fell on the floor!!!!

There's 2 options. 1. Make it legal and say boys have at it, like most have said it will save money in the long haul, I believe it's around $100 a gallon right now so if you can get an extra race out of a set of a tires it will save money. 2. Make the penalties stiffer to discourage it even more but Lucas and WOO would have to get together on that.

BBQ boy even the events with spec tires (Arizona) allow siping and grinding. You take that away which is what making drivers buy tires at a track will do and all you will see is guys in line trying not to blister tire because tire has no way to release heat. Also most of the national guys are sponsored by Hoosier tires so there goes those sponsorships so you're taking more money from the driver

Lucas suspended Terry Casey back in the day, but Casey admitted he soaked his tires.

Not sure if you are a Casey fan or a Bloomer fan ...But I was at the North South when they caught Terry and after Friday night was over a friend and I ran into Terry at a local Denny's and he told us that Scott was selling the stuff ..I ask him how it was used and he replied " Its in a can and you inject it into the valve stem "

Dont know but looks like this on is going thru the roof!

[B_K]

They all run tons of WoO and UMP shows.

Yeah, I know.....

Just thought it was interesting three of the guys popped were Lucas guys. Some of which that if you look at results over the last couple of months are running really well after a struggle or two.

Story from DoD with statements from some of the drivers accused etc...

[Snake X3]

Well it is a fact that Richards was tested and passed, and if WRG was trying to screw over Lucas guys they would of tested/failed Erb to hand the win to Richards.

The conspiracy theory is a joke, but if people want to play that game you could say they didn't DQ Erb because it would take away the feel good story of the race. It's all silly anyway...sad and silly.

[ClampedUp]

If this test was done by a certified testing facility/lab they would have kept an unaltered sample of the "tested tire" so if their results were taken to task either they could retest the sample or the team could request the tire be sent to another certified testing facility/lab at their expense.
Have never heard of a team or driver doing this and if it was done obviously the retest proved the same outcome because it would have been plastered all over 4m and the interweb if it come back clean.
A major issue I see is these series have NEVER come out and said what chemicals have been found to eliminate any issues of the testing be on the level.
They have no problem putting the drivers names out there so it shouldn't be an issue putting out what they found.

[victorylane]

Sorry I just remembered another good one. They used soap to mount the tire on the wheel! That caused the bad sample.

[jog49]

Remember back in the day when a white van would go to one specific hauler, drop off some tires, and then leave the race track property? Not calling any names though. LOL!

[Mud Packer]

First of all, I'm just an idiot fan of all racing including late models. I don't have a favorite driver or team but just enjoy watching the sport of auto racing. However, I HATE CHEATERS. If this trend continues, and I don't think it will stop without some more serious consequences.

All the series need to come together and for the good of racing set a procedure across the board on handling cheaters. First offense-a set suspension with loss of points and money won. 3 Months minimum? Second offense-a larger set suspension with loss of points and money won plus a fine. 1 year minimum? Third offense-5 year ban?

If you think that cheating will stop even with this, you are sadly mistaken. Look at how baseball has suspended folks and it seems every week another player gets suspended for drugs. At least get rid of the cheaters for a prolonged period of time.

If I sponsor one of these cheaters, the first thing I would do is pull the sponsorship. I certainly wouldn't want my name associated with cheaters in any form. If they lose a sponsor, maybe that will also help clean this mess up. Stop blaming the system when you in fact are cheating. I don't care why you cheated, you still cheated.

End of rant.
