Bleedblue has always been very honest and upfront about what services he offers for "tire adjustments". Drivers come to him for this service, plus he does a little advertising and educational work on this site. People have been blasting him OR defending him for a long time. Not one time have I have seen bleedblue rip anyone for the negative thoughts they have about his tire business. He has always been a gentleman with his comments and has a right to operate his business. Seems to me like the problem is with the lack of UMP officiating in enforcing the rules.

That part...is okay with me and im glad he has the push to do that. I dont question anyone who is sponsored by him.

I dropped all open sponsorships as of now. I will be a silent sponsor if they wish to continue. I especially don't want people to assume just because "Crown Cuts" is on te side of the car that they are cheating, which cutting the tire is not. I'm not backing out of any obligation I had with them.
To guy correcting me on the stagger deal with a 26.5 H40, now I see why Jimmy stated it the way he did. Maybe what I think is common sense some just don't get or understand, and that's fine I wouldn't expect to understand a in-depth job on the first day either, but with that said the benefit to the tire in question is to run 26.5 H40's on the RR thus making it less stagger. I should explained myself, my mistake.

mr. dearing.. i went back and re-read EVERYTHING I POSTED on this subject, and not once did i call/try to call you a liar. not once!!! tell me how you could get that out of what i posted? if you are referring to the"keep it factual and accurate" statement i made, then i guess i gotta spell it out in simple terms for you. that was in reference to the "suggestion" by you to me, that i do not go to enough races to be considered as having enough knowledge to make a reasonable opinion. that was borderline personal, instead of factual and accurate. please tell me where i tried to call you a liar, as you stated matter -of- factly.

I did chuckle when I read this. You if you look at the way the progression of the cars today are going on dirt(actually guys like Moyer and Bloomquist have been driving like this forever) but the cars now that win and I mean consistently they drive the straight. The Rayburn days of through that car in there and lifting the LF all the way around the track are not fast anymore. The chassis builders and drivers have adopted what is the fastest way around the track, straight, which doesn't scrub speed. Now if you go back look, what have I always been a part of(huge piece of my life)? Karting, no different there but we have always driven our karts as straight as possible. Mostly because we are just so darn under horsepowered in the Briggs Flathead division and it has made us just peer talents when it comes to tires. If you don't figure out tires in karting, then don't even show up and that is what is on the forefront of the stock car world as we speak. Guys like myself made the natural progression to stock cars whether we race them, help them, or provide a service for them as I do, but we here and I'm not the only one. Actually my biggest competition right now is out of Indiana and wow he is one heck of a tire guy and we may be working together instead of against each very soon. Between him, myself and the prep guru Eric Rendleman working together wow I can not wait to see what we can come up with. Take a look if you get a chance sometime and what I'm doing with the American Racer kk704, it's really neat and that's just cutting, not including the prep on that one. Can't discuss in-depth on that one but just take a look.

mr. dearing, please go back and re-read post number 15... by YOU!! tell me again about who said what on here. i basically said what you did, slightly different.. me, calling you a liar? a bit of an exaggeration, i think....as i said before; be impartial, factual and accurate.
ANYONE who promotes cheating is no friend to racing; even if they are polite about it.

The single biggest factor on why modifieds use less stagger is because of tru trac type rearends,which is legal in UMP but hey not here to argue,if what your doing is legal more power to you.

Kreke..apparently he is a friend to many drivers since they use his services. Sounds to me from Bleedblue's most recent post he's doing rather well and may be expanding.
You got that right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've read about J.Dearing speaking up about track officals making bad calls and speaking up about a tire that isn't legal,so whats that make him a man with principals we need alot more like that in this world today.

Amen to the above. This particular class is being ruined by all the commercialization and the inability/desire to enforce any rules that are actually in place that would do much good. I think a cheater should be outed and the provider should also be made public to get the awareness out!
Heck I even contacted the guy about tires a year or so ago to get a little more educated on what I was being told was beating me and seemed like way too much smoke and mirrors for me. Safe for everyone, faster car, lasts longer.....just doesn't seem to go together but what do I know?

His "products" are not allowed already. His services in a gray way is not, so take that as you will.

It would be very interesting to get some comments from an UMP official on this subject. Naw.....won't happen.

I agree! And i cant understand why anyone would argue with jimmy about what he saw! He has done alot for racing in this area,and i dont think he would deliver anything but facts! Something definatly needs to be done about the tire problem,and i am glad he has spoken up about it!

Let me play Devil's Advocate here. In all fairness, would Jimmy have reported a driver who he noticed had a cheater tire on his car and go after him on this site?
