torque Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 There is a rumor going on that all USRA classes will be going to Mccreary tires in 2006, im pretty sure that the late models are already running them in the 10" but the trucks and mods will have to switch over to the 8". I just wanted to see what everyones opinion is if they did switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrss1 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 i am pretty sure the trucks will stay with the hoosiers because that is what ARTS mandates (i believe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundogC3 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) ARTS isnt going to be involved with the trucks here anymore....lone star Edited November 30, 2005 by GUNDOG33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSEPOWER Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I think they should just go with Hoosiers. Isn't that what the majority of the tracks use here for the local racing and also most other touring series. I know it probably comes down to money.

arts22 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 If they are going to sponsor the USRA then the USRA should use them..... If the trucks go to a slick they should pick up about a half second. How many races can you get out of a set, is it a softer or harder tire?

Crazyhorse Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 you won't get what you get out of a 970 life cycle wise no matter what the compound........and to break away from ARTS would be a big disappointment to me......what other series do you get a chance to content for two championships at once?

thrss1 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 im with crazyhorse on the disappointment thing about ARTS. why wouldnt any body want to be associated with a series that has national immplications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arts22 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Didnt they tell us at the first meeting of USRA that the trucks would be ARTS for one year and thats it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrss1 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 looks like the Heartland region is gone and if the Lonestar region goes away what is going to happen to ARTS. I like the series and dont want to see it die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 The Hoosier rubber is better than the American Racer, which replaced McCreary. American Racer is trying to horn in on some of Hoosier's share of the racing scene, thus monetary incentives. The real issue here is we need them ALL on the same rubber. Having a couple classes on Hoosier and then the SLM cars on A.R. is ridiculous. Ask most of the SLM driversabout starting a race after a few Hoosier classes have run. It is damn scary for them, and one of the main reasons you have problems on a start due to wheel spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KISS_Racing Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 ARTS and USRA, I believe is what he meant??? Â ARTS in California changed right off the bat, they are the West Coast Pro Trucks... Â Maybe Terry will approach the other regions and try to do something, that is if he has time... 8o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arts22 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 From what I understood, the USRA doesnt like the ARTS rules (to many gray areas) BUT it was in the contract to run under ARTS rules for 1 year(2005), then they would change some rules and only be sanctioned under USRA..... What we were told it will not be ARTS in 2006.... That was said at the beginning of the season............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KISS_Racing Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Your right, I do remember that... I was thinking from the national prospective that Terry might do something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcellracing Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 What other regions? there is only like one left i think that is arts and if we go like the west coast pro trucks that wont be good. I have a WC pro truck and the whole reason he didnt race it was because it didnt have WC pro truck purchased parts on it and he wasnt going to buy them from WC pro trucks. Example they wanted him to run a torque converter purchased from them and the one he had(which is arts legal) was not legal in the WC pro trucks, basically the guy who owns the pro trucks is running a monopoly on the parts and the guy i got this truck from said they have no trucks in that series that every one is selling them. Any truth to that i dont know its just what i was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arts22 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 There is only two other regions left. Mid-Atlantic ran 7 races and Northeast ran 12 races. There is a series in Florida that the rules are similiar to ARTS and some races are televised..... ARTS was like that where you had to purchase certain parts from them.

NickHolt Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Wayne and his crew are working on the 2006 Truck rules. We anticipate that if your truck was 100% legal under the 2005 rules, it will be real close under the 2006 rules. The main thrust of our efforts is to tighten up several of the loopholes and gray areas in the existing ARTS rule book. We are also looking at including an option or two that may make the series more attractive to some. That's all I can say about the rules at this point because there is some ongoing research we are completing before final decisions are made. Â We have had numerous inquiries from folks wanting to run with the USRA trucks in 2006 and we're looking for bigger truck counts than before. We understand that several of the existing truck teams that are selling are actually upgrading equipment or getting their backup trucks out on the track with a new owner.

When I spoke to the guy who owns WCPT in Irwindale, he wasn't to in favor of how ARTS made people buy certain things... That was one of the reasons why when ARTS( The original company in Arizona ) began to go down hill he broke off from them... To say that he is now running a monopoly makes me wonder what changed his mind or his ways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lidllarry Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 The trucks were fun to watch this year but they have automatic transmissions. Are they now going to Standard so they dont put fluid on the track so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
