Dear Sirs:
Enclosed is our response to your Request for Proposal regarding tires for the UMP Late Model racing for weekly tracks and for special events. In summary, the proposal highlights are as follows:
1. The recommended retail price of the tires is $116 per tire.
2. A fee, to be determined by UMP DIRTcar, may be assessed to each tire sold. It is estimated that a $3.35/tire fee would be sufficient to pay the National, Regional, State and Summer National points funds in their entirety.
3. Tires are limited dimensionally and of comparable compounds like the Lucas Oil Late Model rule.
4. All manufacturers capable of meeting the dimension and hardness requirements can supply tires to the racers.
5. The tires will be uniquely marked for UMP DIRTcar Late Model racing and monthly sales of tires will be reported to UMP DIRTcar in a timely fashion.
6. No change to any manufacturer's tire, either in construction or compound, will be permitted in the racing season unless otherwise deemed necessary by UMP DIRTcar. Verification of this is straight-forward and at no cost to UMP DIRTcar.
7. A representative will be at each UMP DIRTcar sanctioned event with an adequate supply of tires to satisfy the requirements for the event and our multiple manufacturing locations ensure continuous supply.
8. A willingness to abide by any reasonable modifications to tire specifications or supply considerations.
We encourage Dirt Motorsports to share this proposal and all such proposals you receive with the general public. Any agreement where extra monies are being collected from the racers, even if those monies are used to fund amenities for the racers, should be able to stand the light of day.
Best regards,
David Mateer

racers and just stealing stuff off their hauler?
