Jeff F Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 In the AI rules it says that the receipts for purchase of Toyo tires need to be sent to the "American Iron Series Director" Is this the national director or reigonal director? Anyone have a fax#? I want to make sure that the top guys get their well-deserved $, so they can open the gap even more! Hey, with a spec tire, shouldn't the backmarkers get the $ to help them be competitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilson7 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Jeff, Which rules are you reading? This is the 2004 Program (Thanks NASA and Toyo!): http://www.nasaproracing.com/news/toyo_2004.html I thought you were a solid mid-packer........

Jeff F Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Which rules are you reading? The AI rules at http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/2004_AI.pdf , section 7.2: NOTE: Toyo will be contributing to a prize fund for every tire sold to AI series competitors only. AIX competitors are not eligible for this contingency. All competitors need to photocopy the invoice showing the purchase of shaved RA-1 tires and turn into the American Iron Series Director. Any competitor that does not turn in receipts will not be eligible for this contingency. I thought you were a solid mid-packer........ I am. I was trying to help out Keith.

Adam Ginsberg Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 The AI rules were released before the new Toyo contingency information, hence the conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff F Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Just yankin' your crank, Keith. You taught me everything I know! I owe it all to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Well, if you're seriously proposing this, I'll take it. Can I have one of your trophy's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff F Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 I'm looking around and I don't see too many trophies. Oh, wait, I have a pair of plaques from winning our class in the Son-of-sno-drift TSD road rally, for 2000 and 2001. I'll send them right out to you. Seriously, you completed a lot of races this year, and had a good time doing it. That makes you a winner in my book. I'd much rather drive and come in last then sit out my driving time because a championship is on the line. No, I wasn't serious about the backmarker contingency, but the idea of contingency prizes for a class with spec tires seems kind of silly. It isn't going to sell any more tires...

Keith Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I did finish many races this year and I learned alot. As fun as it was, it's not so easy for a "Type-A personality" to sit back there event after event. I guess I learned patience, too. I'm pulling off my headers and cold air intake box so I can run CMC next year. That's all that really needs done to the car... I think I was running the wrong class this year! I like the contingency program. I see it as an opportunity to fund a second set of tires (rains!). For what the tires cost, I think it's good that Toyo found a way to give something back to the racers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
