Tires can be an issue for keeping a cap on the economy of a series, if you believe this to be than is a tire inventory rule the way to go?. I know Mike McColl wouldn't appreciate it, but maybe it is time for a tire inventory rule modeled after the late model teams.
I know some SS teams go to to the track during the week to scuff in multiple sets of tires and this advantage is not open to everyone because we don't have a practice night open to everyone. I think this is a short sight the Delaware Speedway Officials perhaps as a suggestion need to address for 2012. In my mind it can be very intimidating for a "Newbie" to come out and try a track on a full on "race night". Our numbers per division are not swelling and I fear we might not see anymore growth if we don't react. "If we all choose to do nothing, then we all have agreed nothing will get done"
Allot things can be looked at to help keep things strong and maybe encourage some growth, but if we say "nah we tried that" or "this is the way we always do it" we might miss something good and positive. Remember the old way may not necessarily be bad, the new might just be a bit better!!!
K I'm going outside to work on my Pumpkin Smasher Cavalier because I'm going to do my damn-est to race before I'm too big to get into a car through the window.
Get a second job over the winter ....become a Fuller Brush saleman and your own sponsor !!!!
Well this is not a new thing; there is always teams that have more money then others. It's not their fault. They can buy more tires or more parts. This has been going on for the 20 years that I have been going to Delaware. This stuff goes on at all levels of racing: those who have more money go far and those that don't get left behind !!! This might not be a good thing but it's the way it is. You could be the most skilled driver but without the money or the sponsor, you will not go far. This is a dollars sport . So some times u get guys with money in good cars that can't drive and then you get good drivers and money winning all the time. It's not their fault. How do we fix this not sure !!
the towel city recap tire that we run will help
