POSTED 5/31/07 HOOSIER TIRES????

Beech Bend has changed our track tire. We are now to use Hoosiers. It was reported to me that #44 Phillip Akin in his sportsman car finished 5th Friday night -7.494 behind the leader #03 Rick Stamper. Then on Monday after mounting Hoosier tires, Phillip wins. William Johnson finished second to Phillip at -5.271 behind. Rick Stamper, winner Friday finished fourth -7.125 behind Phillip. Big turn around. I had several sources that said #22 Brian Cherry put on Hoosier tires and was at Beech Bend Tuesday night for testing and recorded several laps at 16:90's. Brian was the track record holder last year at 17:28, I think. So it looks like Brian will be the man to beat. Super Fast!!!! Good job Brian!

these new tires have already hurt the sportsman class this class hasnt had many cars in it and just when it is starting to build its self back up dallas u changed the tire rule bad mistake! I talked to Larry lastnite he said that they had plenty of the OLDTIRES and his sportsman and superstock would not be changing tires dallas u should really consider changing back to the towelcity tires cause this might be the final nail in the coughfin 4 the sportsman cars that class was having an average of 10cars this season friday u had 6cars do something quick before the sportsman has the samething happen to it as the street class no cars!

two sets of rules need to apply for the sportsman 3400lbs for the cars w/hoosiers 3200lbs cars w/towelcitys that would help the cars here running the old tires and it would help the highland rim guys out when they come down here to run
