Take it easy on Al, I was holding him and JP up the whole race. They probably never got those 888s up to temp...Quote:

Personally, cool, I got RA1's to last till 2011. Gives me another chance at some more lap records this year. I am sure those that don't will not be happy about it.
JWL and Toyo are smokin' crack if they think racers can afford to toss perfectly good race tires.
And don't tell me to use them for TnT or DE weekends.
TnTing on them yields no data worth using and the only reason I do a DE weekend is for TnTing.
Arguements about it "being fair" are equal on both sides of the fence
Yeah, I'm too tired to look up the answer.
The reason I ask is because I as asked these questions in a general setting. Any help/guidance would be terrific.
1. Will be allowed to run RA-1's and still be able to obtain class points and Toyo bucks after this past weekend?
2. Will there be a stipulation enforced that we cannot purchase new RA-1's and run those (Toyo still makes 'em!!)
3. Will lap records count if it's not done on Triple 8's?
Thx!!

I think we should protest and all run RA1's the rest of the season. So I guess I should purchase another set or two of RA1's and say I need to use up what I have? What do we (or even NASA) get out of Toyo for us running their POS 888? Is it worth it if all our tire bills double?

Why couldn't everyone manage their tires down to what was needed to finish out '08 like I did?

After running both RA1s and 888s this past weekend, like many others, I think the 888s are inferior.
If the answer is final, fine. It will all be equal, as the class is designed to be. We will just have to learn to get the most out of a lesser tire. I'm sure a few racers hated the RA1s when they were first released.
I would much rather run the RA1s so much as I can still score regional points. The Toyo bucks probably won't mean a lot to me at this point.
the only way you will know what i'm thinking is to talk w/ me.Quote:
