tire deal

[fisherman]

so whats the tire deal and how much a tire

[00 RBDJ]

They didn't announce who has it yet. They said it is still in the works. All they said is that the tires will be cheaper. There are talks about using the charger tires instead also.

How can they say tires will be cheaper when they don't even know who the dealer is or what tire the cars will be on?

[LongIslandJam]

They can't get any more expensive. That's why. Time will tell what the tire deal will actually provide the racing community.

Hey fisherman, are you planning to come back? I don't know what the current specs are on Charger tires but it was a disaster when we ran them years ago. They were good for one race only before they hardened up. I guess we're stuck running Hoosiers. The McCreary/American Racer tires were decent.

My understanding is that the contract with Hoosier suppling the track with tires lasts 1 more year. The person running the operation is open for negotiation. As for price... as its been stated by numerous others... tires will be cheaper.
I know Paul spoke with a few of the Charger drivers last year about their tires. 1 race and maybe a warm-up on them. Anything more and they were garbage. So that puts most of the teams into needing a complete set every week... no savings to any of the figure 8's that I see. Maybe you save a few dollars a week on price , but you are purchasing more tires monthly... in my book that = no savings !!! In fact it might cost our division more overall to run... Only time will tell.
