From my understanding the American Racer tire will be the same price and there will be a burnoff period for your current Hoosier tires...

i wish both tracks would get on the same page and have the same info and tell everything we need to know!Tyler co says a 4 race burnoff like the way fastrak was and elkins stated a longer time period.My thoughts are they should of brought all of this out to us drivers and crew earlier than 1 month before season starts!
