Run their operation a little better.... ahmen !
After all these topics of tires for dirt we have been grinding over for years and years, because we were unhappy with the BFG on dirt... they take out another chassis to test, decide to put on some dirt tires on a Legend to try on a dryslick red clay track. Hmmm.. hardly any wear so a bell goes off in their noggin to put legends on a dirt tire.... hmmmmm.
Back up here a second Pedro !! Has anyone at USLC ever raced a dirt tire on a light chassis ?? For a full season ?? Highly unlikely.. none the less on brown dirt, black dirt, river clay, grey clay, or red clay with the tracks prepped ?? Then all surfaces dry ?? Not just one test but a season full of tests on all surfaces and conditions ? No !! They are testing a dirt tire on a dryslick red clay and expect all of us to be happy with their decision.... NOT. We will end up with the hardest compound out there and the wrong thread design.. the way they are shuffeling through this tire deal. Best input they may have is if they take the time to thoroughly discuss these topics with the tire company and racers who HAVE raced them in light chassis on dirt.
Not bragging but I prolly have more experience with dirt tires racing my Mini Sprint than they will gather up this winter testing.... If they are going to instate a dirt tire they need to leave the compound and thread rule open for a few years and let the racers test the tires. Besides.... they would prolly increase profit selling everyone tires in those few seasons and make us all happy. Instead we will get a dirt tire that is hard as a moonrock because of the dryslick testing they are doing of tires
Look at the big picture here. They do all this testing for tires (or should)... while testing the new "dirt chassis". The new dirt chassis flops like the thunder roadster... they stop support of Legends on dirt and make you change over to the new dirt chassis ?? Stick a fork in Legends on dirt... they're done. Who do they have of any dirt experience doing any of this testing
Anyone with a reputable dirt past in these things to give us the right stuff ?? We're talking testing being done in asphalt country thinking their dirt track is the same as all the others across the country for tire wear ??
I've said enough for now
