Indy tire testing

[wedge]

Flicking through Autosport mag recently and the recent tire test wasn't very good. Still can't do half a tank of fuel without destroying the tyres.

thank the great piece of crap car.

another Brickyard 400 it looks like with an asterisk to the winner. I just hope Nascar lets the teams race this time and force them to pit when they feel they need to pit, it would've been alot more interesting to have seen it played out that way last year, then to see Nascar have a caution every 12 laps

NASCAR needs to forget about Indy. Move that race to Kentucky.

Lee Roy...I wouldn't go out of my way to watch another race on a 1.5 mile cookie cutter. I would rather they solve the tire issue.

Nothing against Kentucky, but this car is far more entertaining on flat ovals than it is anywhere else. Indy however is a headache, I wont disagree.

It would still be more of a race than what we saw at indy last year. If it dont work this year they should ask nicely if they would repave the track, if they dont go elsewhere.

Theres a couple of good tracks in North Carolina that had some pretty good racing that could be brought back from the dead (I know its a Pipe dream)

At the rate the tires were falling apart there would've been a caution every few laps anyway. NASCAR called cautions to protect the drivers from serious injury and I can't beat them up for that.

If they still cant get the tyres work why dont nascar change the race format to something along the lines of the allstar event and make it a non points weekend?

[RaceFanStan]

If Goodyear was smart, they would sub-contract out the manufacturing of the tires for Indy.

Yeah, but after a few cautions the drivers should be smart enough to pit for new tires without being prompted by NASCAR.

How about steel belted radials? but put the steel belts on the outside. Every corner could be a powerslide through a shower of sparks... good show for a night race. :-D
