I read on Speed51 that Hoosier expected to mount up to 3000 new tires this weekend at the Snowball. My rough calculations come up to around $300,000.00 worth of racing tires! Or, there are approxiamately 300 cars participating this weekend (counting bombers, modifieds, etc.), that comes out to 10 tires per car on average or $1000.00 worth of tires per racecar. I don't know how much a racetrack makes on every tire sold, but at 10 bucks per tire, the track nets $30,000.00. There's no recession in Pensecola this weekend! Forgive me for any mathematical errors, I avoided as many math classes as possible in college.
