So everyone that all ready voiced there opinion has to re send in there demand because a few people do not like the decision? If anything maybe a little clearer explanation should be giving. I have followed these spec tire posts on both forums and it seems to be the same 5 or 6 people posting for a spec tire and at lease half of them don't even run a FV they run a FST or in the Canadian series. Does it matter to those people what happens in FV? Post about your own issues in your class. All this does is make everyone think that FV is fighting over a stupid tire rule which I don't believe is the case I think it's everyone else trying to convince FV to be another class.problemchild wrote:Brian says to write the CRB and ask them to reconsider. Follow the system. Well, the system has failed FV. We need the BOD to step in and get things done. ASAP! NOW! No time to waste! Write the BOD and demand action!
Please don't take this the wrong way Greg but how much can we beat this to death? I don't really care weather we have a spec tire or not and I do not believe it's the reason numbers are down. I agree tire prices are a crazy but I can tell you I have run on spec tires and I can 100% say it DOES NOT save anyone money period. It may save the 15 guys in canada money because they all agree to run the tires for 15 years or 300 heat cycles. Once you have something like this with a few hundred drivers there will be a few that will pay to get that tires sweet spot, weather that sweet spot is #5 heat cycle or #25 heat cycle they will pay and if the tires are better when they are shaved they will pay. So you buy a full tread tire and shave half the rubber off at a extra cost use them until they fall off. What if at that point the tire is only fast for 3 cycles? Then what? The reason the canadian tires get better the longer they run is because there less flex in the thread as it wears down so some will not wait to wear the tires the will shave them.
The spec tire thing can go in many directions and making a quick decision I do not think is the best way to handle it nor do I think posting all kinds of things that can mislead people in thinking Spec tire is the way to go, it may be but it may not be as well.
For the FST drivers and the Canadian drivers I like both series and would love to try each someday but you guys have to realize it's not easy for someone to switch when they have great racing in FV at least this is the way it is for me and I can't speak for everyone. I have never seen a FST and I'm not going to build or buy one and run alone I would rather do something else with my time, if there were a few maybe my view would change. Candian series I would love to go up to Canada because I miss running at Mosport and I miss visiting Canada I enjoy it. I may buy a set of tires and wheels just to do it.
I gues I will wait now until someone from another class bashes me now
