Default JX2 cut from PCA

I heard on Friday"I just wanted to let you know that Pirelli informed us a few days ago that they will be moving to one single service provider for next season.Unfortunately they have not chosen us. This came as a pretty big surprise to us, and I personally am pretty disappointed by the news."

I wonder who PCA is going with and what we do with our certificates ? I had herd that they were changing the compound for Cup but that's it .

Wow! Bad when the news comes from a stalwart vendor and sponsor first...

Sounds like it was a Pirelli decision, not PCA. I'm pretty sure I know how it is (and they are quality). They are running 5 or more Pirelli programs in the US.

They better be grandfathering in the JX2 tires. After all I heard PCA makes $400 a set on us that's the least they can do

Good Lord! Well, I imagine the new vendor would not like that. Nor would it be in PCA's interest to allow it...

Steve I am uncertain where you are getting this information but what you heard is not correct. If anyone has questions regarding the program please contact myself or PCA National and we will be happy to assist.

If not 400/set, I am sure there is a major incentive none the less. (as there should be)

That's good to know.

The one thing that really irks me about PCA is the raffles. Why does PCA need to make over a few hundred thousands dollars on each car raffled, and what is done with all that money? I'm good at math so I never enter PCA raffles or lotto.

JX2 always good to work with based on their approach to business I continued to purchase from them even when I ran in GTA-1 and was not required to buy from them
Thanks

After JX2 was instrumental in bringing Pirelli to PCA and developing the Contingency program plus building their PCA volume to record sales in 2017 it is a bad business decision for Pirelli in my opinion.
