I've heard talks of some minor tweaks being made to the new prizm touring car wheel. Is this true and are the changes going to stiffen up the wheel at all?
Thanks Jaco!

nick or shawn make sure you bring the bear to every race you guys go to he can sure come in handy just ask him about the main at speedzone and the blocks being layed down ahahahaha..
after doing a ton of testing latley i have found that my car is the best with megentas all the way around instead of double pinks , but this is for high bite style tracks with the softer tire it just seems to flow throught a corner alot better then with aslightly harder one

We have no control over the prices that a given shop sells for, however I would expect to see aggressive pricing continue as we are giving good deals to promote our line and encourage foam racing. Last year we were "accused" by some of hurting electric TC racing with our 2-stage tire. We want to be part of the solution, not the problem. If we can somehow contribute to the revitalization of sedan racing, we are all for it. We are in this business for the long haul.
Yes, we are stiffening our wheel a little bit. Our drivers are split about the need to do this. Some want it, some don't. We don't want to lose our 3 gram per wheel weight advantage over our competitors, so the changes are very minimal. We are also doing the 1/12 front.

I don't know, you stiffen it too much and then we'll be cracking them. I cracked numerous Jaco rims in the past before switching to Parma. I liked the new Jaco rim design so I thougth I would give the prisms a try and so far not one cracked rim or chunked tire, I'm very happy with the new rim and thought they were plenty stiff.

Jack Rimer,
Are you going to have your tires at the Cleveland race for sale?

Due to this unfair business practice I am considering banning, and boycotting Jaco tires at my track. To bad to they are nice tires. Our cost at any Distributer (Horizion, G.P., HRP) is around $1.00 to $2.00 less than what they are selling at retail at some mail order shops.
I would have thought Jaco with its racing background would be smarter about this. If a local shop at a track cannot sell simple consumables like tires, there won't be many tracks to run at.
I would think this would bring more racers out and bring the cost of racing down a little. win/win I would think

A good comparison would be if GM decided to sell cars to a few specific dealerships in the Country at a different rate. What do you think would happen.

Common misconception, race fees don't keep a track open. And if the tracks can't sell the simple consumables competitively, we cannot pay the bills. There are enough quality tire manufactors out there we can choose from, that don't deal unfairly with us local shops.
