    Season is about here.. TIRES??

    Ok, I know someone who knows someone (on the inside), let's just keep it at that.. I have a few questions regarding the tire situation for the track, some of it involves this division which is why I chose this forum..
    I am hearing this, and I am not trying to spread, I am looking for truth.. I hear the new distributor will not be offering tires to buy during the week, (as was an option earlier this Winter).. When will we find out where and when we can buy them? (as well as how much, some teams I know are looking to get their sponsorship dollars in order and have no answers when it comes to the tires)..
    Also, as was a major issue with a near distributor earlier this Winter, there is a driver involved. I do not have an issue with that at all. But, this source is telling me MOD tires will be impounded, as was not the case earlier this Winter.. That could be a sticky issue with some..
    I don't want to start stuff, just looking to get things cleared up.. The season is coming quickly, and drivers need to know what is going on so they can prepare properly..

    His driver is as free to compete as any others. Do you think this situation has never existed before? Let's get over throwing mud on the issue and get to the information everyone needs, and leave the accusations about something that hasn't even happened yet until it actually does, if ever.
    Where did everyone go????

    I continue to wonder how long interested parties should be expected to wait for a legitimate answer to these questions regarding tires? I mean seriously...the countdown is down to 52 days?

    Sounds to me someone needs to ummmmmm do "something" of get off the pot?

    "Kick" brings up a great point....BUDGET....how are people supposed to plan without knowing what it will cost them? The time for patience has passed!

    Maybe you all should start to call the track offices daily and "inquire" as to when a decision can be expected?

    the only thing i can comment on is that Jimmy WILL be racing at riverhead this year, schedule permitting. but there will be NO impound. therefore jimmy's tires will be subject to the same checks from officials as everyone else. and the tires i believe will be available during the week if u so choose to come buy them. so there is certainly no uneven playing field there.

    Tires

    I hate to bring this up again, but what is the deal with the tires? Tech is nearly here, practice will be here beofre you know it.. And no one knows how or where to get tires, or what the deal is.. I was told some scary news from a former Hoosier employee, regarding Riverhead and Hoosier's relationship, and it worries me.. I do hope the Cromarty's have a plan B.. That's all I can say about it..

    Please please please Riverhead, drivers need to know what's up with the tire deal! The season is nearly here and no one can race without tires..

    Tires

    Is this tire deal official now ( 3-19-08 ) or not? Did I miss an official press release, price, how and where to buy, compound for each division, manufacturer.
    I think everyone needs the next , and hopefully the last peice of the puzzle.

    It was announced by Bob Finan in "Eye on Riverhead" that TS would be handling tire sales at the track. What everyone is waiting for is the announcement of when tires will be sold, and for how much. Bob did announce prices would be better (lower) than last year.

    A press release is expected late this week with all the information everyone needs to know about tires this season at Riverhead. There are a few things that need to be confirmed between the track and T.S. Haulers, and then the announcement will be made. Just a little more patience folks, and all will be known.
