Why other than Money in pockets of promoters do they have tire us limits 

  In 1970s  we could run anything that works  M&H  Firestone Goodyear just to name a few

Now there are only 2 race tire builders, and 100s of tire combinations. If they just had , oh lets say just 4 possible tire configurations, it would be much eaiser to build enough tires. At times we are our own worst enemy.   To solve the problem the tire builders are gonna have to take controll of the market and just say, "This is it, these are your limited options. "

Totally agree TBONE. Tracks should not be in the tire deal. They have enough trouble putting the races on these days. Put a limit on circumference so no drag rubber is used and let the teams find their own tires. 

What exactly is the issue with drag tires?

Please explain.

Not really an issue but I only say that because everyone is looking to keep costs down. The drag rubber can get expensive. Not just initial cost but they are very easy to damage with any contact. This is just my opinion of course.

asphalt or dirt -

1/4 or 1/2 mi.,-

N.E.S IS JUST SNAKEBIT--

( maybe built over a native american burial grounds ?)

I loved NES when i ran (asphalt ) -more fun as a "drivers" track  than wall was-

but, somehow , then as now,they just can't get it right --

i hope they get their differences ironed out-

seems like one thing after another --

new ownership fixes everything......its one self inflicted wound after another

Get rid of the Track Stamps would solve part of the issues.

Currently NES has no tire stamp rule.  Just has to be American racer, and a certain size, and standard compound or harder. 

This is also not just a NES issue, talk to anyone that runs, Grandview, Big Diamond, most of the Deyo races.  Both american racer and Hoosier are having shortages and tire failures.   Bridgeport isnt selling to anyone who isnt a regular either.  

John,

I dont know what many guys are doing, I,can tell you, if I start in the back, I have been putting some of my worse tires on to try and conserve. 

That being said, I have ran the same front tires every single race this year.  I ran one or 2 new left rears and keep using used stuff up every race, and I have maybe put 4 rr tires on the car, all season.   Tire wear has been great in that aspect.  

Bryan - I saw that you've had a couple of 2nd place finishes this year at New Egypt.  I know the effort you and your team put in the #37.  Great to see you up front and hope to see one place better real  soon!

Great job.
