Troy: Izzy asked me to post a funny response to the tire selection dilemma. We never set set a date in July and last I knew July ain't over yet.
Neither Izzy or I get any tire kick-back money or sponsorship. Every thing we get goes back into the operating fund for the end of the year.
We get tire sponsorship for everyone not just one individual racer. This is all in trying to keep the costs down to the racer.(and yes the profit goes back to the racers)
As far as us picking the MOST EXPENSIVE tire. That alone should have been your first clue. Izzy and I both want the best tire at the best price we can get for the series and the people who race it.
Second clue: KFC your kidding right. I wouldn't take my worst enemy to KFC for a banquet. You were the originator of the KFC joke !!!!!!
May-be next year's directors can get some big time RC Company to foot the trophy bill and banquet bill. But until that happens we the racers pay for it.
And yes we are all clowns at one time or another.

Im not here to offend anyone with this post since I know most of you & are pretty cool but since we are voicing opinons.. here it is. The State series is slowly killing itself with the high cost of entry fees & the tires.I have stopped racing the series just because of those factors. And now you have chosen to hold the event just on Sundays. 3 qualifers & the race, thats going to have to be a well ran program,& I hope it dont rain.I know alot of people travel out of town to just to enter. Where as I can go racing Anywhere in the state & enter a race for 15 bucks,get a discount on the second class. Just look at Adernaline( 3 quals & a Main),which is holding a points race for the same fee(15bucks) & you get a plaque if you attend 3 out of 4 races. Or where Im racing a dirt series,with the same fees(15bucks),If I attend 6 out of 8 I get a free body. Where is the logic to race the series? The series is cool but it aint that cool. Remember this is sopose to be FUN...& I think some of us have lost sight of that. The economy isnt getting better,gas isnt getting cheaper & people are losing jobs left & right. Take it for what its worth...this is Just My Opinon
, but we are all racers much like yourself. We hold a meeting at the last race of the series and discuss many rules, classes, and......COSTS! Spec tire, one day races are all there because of costs. For that extra $10.00 in our entry fee, if you race the minimum number of races you will receive dinner at the year-end banquet, a nice trophy, and the chance to call yourself "State Champion"! Club racing is great, but if you don't get beating the best Florida has to offer in a state series......then I just can't explain it to you.

Heres an idea. How bout for the open mod guys let them run what ever tire they want and how ever many sets they want. If u are paying the money to run mod you should be able to spend money on tires. The biggest class in the series seems likes its gonna be 13.5 anyways, should be able to make enough money for the series off that nd stock. Just my opinion so feel free to rip me apart now lol
