I have heard that a lot of teams are juicing their tires at ppms since they never check for it? After lasts night performance by those who would normally win by a ton never made the race, one wonders??

No one wonders , it's a fact just people are afraid to talk about it ... I'm not .... Lowering your deck a half inch doesn't take your car from dominate to getting lapped in 10 laps .... However getting busted for deck height makes you realize oh shit I better take the illegal tires off before they catch those. Some cars are blazing fast at weekly shows but not when tires are being tested ... Hmmmmm they don't even attempt to deny it. I say ppms should raise the pit price and test the super late feature winner all 4 tires every fuking week !!!

Test everyone in every class, if you're a cheat you're a cheat irrespective of whether you run 1st or last.

To make it clear I'm not using that as an excuse for losing , and I'm not saying I would be as fast as them on juiced tires. But I can tell you I'm not risking cancer to make 1100 dollars ... I'll just bend railings and make that in a half hour

They've tested tires at every NDRL event this year and publicly posted the results on their Facebook page. How is that "never testing"? Doesn't anybody remember Owens getting DQ'd last year?

He means weekly shows at ppms !!! It's not a coincidence some people step on their dick when they know tires will be tested and they can't get away with it !!!!

I think it has more to do with the higher level of competition. The locals are usually subpar at the Firecracker too, does that mean they are all tire doping too?

Alex had a decent qualifying lap and would easily have made the feature had he and Baker not gotten together on the front stretch. Michael Norris has been struggling at PPMS since last July, after starting like a house on fire. That is why he lost the point lead to Alex.

There is tire juicing at lernerville also. It's just not as big of a deal because you have softer compounds available. I'm not having a debate , you think the dudes are clean and pure as the wind driven snow and I guarantee they aren't ...

The hard late model tires, used @ the weekly shows, have been being "adjusted" for many.....many years. Cry doped tires, traction control, remote control shocks, whatever. Are adjusted tires going to make a lap car / consistent back marker a front runner,nope..... NEVER!

comparing friday night drivers to national guys that actually race for a living and race numerous times a week. Is not a very good comparison.

The reason Norris and Ferree win at PPMS isn't tires. If you ask they would sell them to you. The fact is they work harder and drive harder than the rest. Quit crying about cheaters and work on your car. Anytime someone wins they must cheat right. BS

No they didn't win every race .... Plenty of other people also won races .... BUT Those other people perform at the same level when they know tires are tested. Someone calling working on a race car " hard work " is a joke. I have a can of spray paint a dig bar and a shovel and 15 holes need dug 22" x 22" x 36" oh yeah and the ground is shale with some dirt mixed in ... That's hard work. Working on a race car is vacation from hard work. With your analysis " hard work and god like driving ability " are what make a car stick does that mean if you win 1 week and run bad the next ,that means you just didnt work hard enough and forgot how to drive ?? Keep drinking the kool aid
/ baby gravy....
