Hoosier gets spanked along with all the track records that have fallen this year on the Outlaw trail......

HOOSIER DID NOT GET SPANKED , There was only 3 cars on Goodyear , the drivers choice was clearly Hoosier . (36 to 3 )

Not to take it away from Lance Dewease , but again he was on the pole for the inversion the Hoosier are still a better tire , just ask the drivers , especially local drivers

There should be more open tire rule races , I commend Selinsgrove for allowing a open tire rule race . More R & D needs to be done with the Goodyear tire .

So, then what you are saying, thefansfan, is that 36 other teams picked the wrong tire?

Congrats to TDub on his new 1 lap track record...and to Todd Shaffer for his heat race track record.

What tires were on the track record setting cars? Well...I know what Shaffer had on...

Tdub didn't break the track record but it is nice to see they had the track so nice. Sounded like a great nite.

Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3 
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

A lot of new track records in the World of Outlaws this year for what pieces of junk Goodyear tires are.....and then Dewease beats Hoosier heads up? Seems like a lot of the whining might be overblown? Same deal when everyone bitched that the SC Hoosiers were junk, so Lincoln ran open for a week, and Stevie Smith still beat all the RD's with a SC...lol. Now Goodyear is better than those...lol. The definition of junk is Hoosier in the 2004 King's Royal when everyone in the entire field blew a tire. Going to be awful hard to ever top that. Brian Birkhofer won five late model races with the same American Racer tire a few years back, now that's a tire. Maybe Sammy should lobby for one of those instead...lol?

All 3 cars on goodyears made the A main, Leppo won a heat. At least a half a dozen flat hoosiers last night.

A

Leppo switched after the dash from Goodyear to Hoosier. The majority of teams ran Hoosier because they had extra from previous years.

Had Leppo gone out earlier there would have been a new track record.

I suggest you ask most of the drivers what they would use if they could , and most of them would say HOOSIER NOT GOODYEAR

And no 36 other cars didn't use the wrong tire , look what Pat Cannon did a first and a second . And with more laps he just might have won the Jim Nace Memorial National. Open , or the whole $ 26,000. Week in and week out tracks that use Hoosier have proven that they are a more reliable tire .

There are some big issues between these tires , but the harder sidewall has made a difference in WoO racing , they come up through the pack but only get so far , then they blow , blister or back up after starting up fromt . But the results are the same , cars up front or on first two rows WIN IN WoO racing .

There is no noticeable difference between Goodyear or SC Hoosier or it's predecessor the D Hoosier. Record books don't lie.....people do.

They are all $200 25 lap pieces of junk. Open tire rule during 2004 King's Royal and every single car had tire issues.

A half dozen flat Hoosier tires? Can't be, only Goodyear tires have that happen I thought.

Area Auto Racing News:

"We weren't going to change our program for one race," said Lance Dewease, who used a Goodyear right-rear tire. "We went well up here for the Speed Week show, so why would we change now?

"Everyone makes it out to be that Hoosier is so much better and Goodyear is so terrible. That's not the case. Brian Leppo and I were on Goodyears all night. We time trialed well. The tires weren't bad. If that was the case, we wouldn't have finished in the top 10."

Tri-State Speedway Oklahoma earlier this year. Meyers blew a tire at about halfway and still won, because of all the blown tires. They had a fuel stop on lap 29, and then another on lap 33 due to all the caution laps from blown tires. Just as bad or worse than the 2004 King's Royal. I think only 2 or 3 that finished on the lead lap didn't blow a tire. American Racer (McCreary's) has always been better than Hoosier and Goodyear, since the 1980's. Problem is they don't have the money to throw sponsorship at all the series and tracks.

"American Racer (McCreary's) has always been better than Hoosier and Goodyear" Seriously? Even people who ran those things because they got them for free would disagree with that statement. Andy Hillenburg was struggling big time running them and I don't remember if he ever switched to see if it helped but I know there were people telling him to do so. He was a better driver than he appeared to be a good chunk of the time he ran McCreary's.
