Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...Looking at what they did (or didn't do) for the Busch East/West/, Elite, Weekly Series and even the Mod tours, is it any wonder that we're around the same par as the rest of them?

I believe the tire thing there is not a choice as Gooyear will not make the old tire anymore as for the brakes they are not the greatest but over the last couple of years the rotors and pads have gotten a lot better I think that it will be called brake mangement or hang on one of the two.

I hope somebody is lobbying for better brakes, With the expense that teams are going through preparing cars for the wider tires, I don't think anyone would object to the cost of new calipers and brackets. Pretty low relative cost for an issue that should be considered from a safety point of view-brakes have been an issue in the past, and faster cars with more rubber on them need good reliable brakes. Brake management is
an answer, but at least give the driver the equipment to manage. This really should be a no-brainer.

The Tire change for the Chevy teams is not a factor at this point because we dont have any tires available to us yet to try and fit. I called all of the Comp.Tire dealers and they said there is a hold on the tires for all series running them. They claim they are donig an inventory to make sure there is enough to go around and once NASCAR says they can be released, Goodyear will then be able to sell them.
The way things are going, lets just hope that we dont have to wait until the second week of May to start fitting tires as the rummor is we are getting a new nose- we have to move the front fenders out, we have to fit a wider hood, we  have to change our crash bars on the front and sides, and last but not least we have to fit a new dash and front windshield.
This is all work we can do in one night....... sure we can !!
Come on boys- GET THE LEAD OUT !!
