How would this have gone if it wasn't a spec class?

I personally am very disappointed with the way the 200 went this year.
I don't like the idea of a spec tire class.
Why would a tire manufacture try to make a tire better, when there is nothing to compete against.

It seems weird to me that a manufacture could test in December and again in January and still get it so wrong.

Clearly I am bias, BUT
I am entitled to my opinion.

a tire manufacture calls a red flag?
a tire manufacture shortens the race?

If this wasn't a one tire series, then there would not have been a RED flag.
It would have been up to "each" tire brand to decide weather they should pull "their" riders in or not.
