Federated Auto Parts @ I-55 Mod, B-Mod, Sportsman tire rule update at I-55

[jdearing]

Effective June 1st, 2015, the new Hoosier A40S tire will NO LONGER be legal to run at I-55.

You will only be allowed the older type A40 and H40 tires (including the new size 26.5 H40)

 

[T.C. Springer]

are other tracks going to follow suit? Sure hope so.. Or we're back to 3 different tires again.

 

[jdearing]

Belle-Clair will follow.. Haven't heard from the others.

A month isn't a long enough burn off period alot guys used all there sponser money to buy tires they should at least allow them to be run on the front for the remainder of the year

 

[Wib444]

I thought they said unused, unsiped and ungrooved tires could be traded in?

 

[D_Homan10]

I have ten mounted and ground and siped couldn't burn them up by may

 

[Kermit the Frog]

You don't even race at these tracks LOL but I do agree lil more burn time or let b mods and sportsman finish the year on them so we can still sell our used ones

 

[D_Homan10]

Your right but other tracks will follow just hope they read this and take this into consideration

But b-mods and sportsman are supposed to be the economy classes. You don't give them the inferior tires that you've used up already. That only have one night left on them, so they can keep replacing them every weekend..

 

[Kermit the Frog]

i didn't say force them to run A-s tires I said allow them to run the still good used ones that may be left after the first of the month no one is forced to buy a used tire if it's junk ,stop licking the windows your making a mess

My question...if the problem with the A40s tires was not enough cure time, then how are the new A40 and 26.5H tires gonna last? Or am I just a dipshit for asking before I go buy these too?

 

[Team242]

I doubt that was the problem at all..... that was just the argument they made ..... I think it was all in the compound

With the BS answers they were giving us, this is a very good question.

 

[Dave34]

When can we buy the A's? I am down to only AS and H's. Also, it looks like this weekend will be a wash so are we going to get an extension?

 

[D_Homan10]

Kermit u was a little hard on the beaver

 

[Kermit the Frog]

I'm sure the regular A and H are fine really the A-s is ok on the fronts just wear a lot on rears

 

[CILTRAK]

We are going to go this direction at Quincy as well. Before we set a burn-off period, we are going to talk to our regulars and see if any of them are sitting on a large number of un-returnable A40S's.

 

[kreke13]

Hoosier or UMP should buy all tires back. They are the ones who f----ed this up.

 

[1mower]

They said the would buy back any unaltered tires. Now if they actually do what they say, That's the question.... Heard the old style A 27.5 could be available In week. 26.5 will be 2 weeks.
