BJ34 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ill try to get both cars there and them we can talk to Dan to see whats up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdaddy Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Trust me on this one guys, talking to Dan on race night is not a good idea, it would be like having someone asking you alot of questions while you are putting your engine together sat afternoon to race in a couple of hours, just to much to discuss and distraction in a short amount of time. You guys may just want to ask to set up a meeting one evening so everyone can be on the same page. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crank Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would like to know that as well, Just about got my car ready to race you and now your not gonna be there? I dont see what the real problem is, If all the drivers agreed on this rule why is it still a problem? Aren't we the drivers putting on the show? Not bashing anyone, just curious.

BJ34 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 You are right we put on the show but the rules say what we have to have to be in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crank Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I understand that. If it was for only one driver I wouldn't say anything, But the whole class is in trouble not just one driver. no drivers , no show, no fans, If i was promoting the track i would work with the drivers to get this solved and put a show back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Maybe the problem is in how the tire is measured.I cant find this years rules but last years rules did not specify the method of measurement.I assumed like everyone else you put a straight edge across the top and measure the flat weathewr its mounted or not.Most tire dealers will not allow you to mount a tire,set your air and measure the bottom.You should see what this years rules say on the measureing methods.If you use the roll over paper thing,you will be DQed if you have a leak during the race but still finish.I still have a dozen of these tires so Im intrested in the outcome. 2 years ago Michael measured these tires at 8".I dont know what method he used,must have been the section width. If the Sumos are outlawed,what tire will you guys use???? For how long?? Im confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neon14 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I have never seen that tire fail tech before. I would have never ran that tire if I thought it would not pass tech. I have also seen that tire get teched many times, including on my car, and it passed every time. They would roll the car over a sheet of paper and then measure the print on the paper. What kind of measurements are you guys getting on your tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon14 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 maybe the construction of the tire changed and nobody noticed it. manufacture could have made a change, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy_GT13 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Never seen one fail tech on a 7" rim. On an 8" rim at left side tire pressures the 215 will fail. Nobody ever said what rim width the DQ'd car was using. BTW, if anyone is interested, I'll sell my 2.3 & throw in a car & all the spare parts. Everything needed to finish repairs & put it back on the track, including 2 new Sumos' on new 7" wide rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ34 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 ONE OF THEM I KNOW HAS 7INCH RIMS BUT THE TIRES ARE A FEW YEAR OLD I DONT KNOW IF THAT IS WHAT CAUSED IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
