[KTMLew]

I gave up. Nothing happening.

This another one of those fracking time warp deals? 3PM is actually 4PM?

Press conference is going on now but the link on FLo just takes you to the link to watch tonights World 100 prelim which starts at 5.

I am following on twitter for the information.

20's, 30's and 40's in sizes 90's and 92's

These are designed to be no groove and no sipe tires!!!!

Late model man, you need to find a new person to get information from😂

Says Hoosier will be reducing the number of Super Late Model tires produced from 26 to 6. That's quite a change. NLMT 1, 2, 3, 4 ( 1 softest to 4 hardest compounds)

90 in 1,2,3
92 in 2,3,4

Wild West Shootout is when this will tentatively launch. They're aiming for a similar program for Crate Late Models in 2024.

Its worse than I expected...

I'm guessing $300 a pop too? I hope we get some time to use up the used, good tires we have.

[weatherman85]

Press release stated "initially" there would be a no groove and no sipe mandate in effect. Maybe they'll open this up later.

Also said Hoosier expects the new compounds to have a reduced retail price from current tires.

This spec mentality is maddening.

Said they will be less than the current cost because it simplifies the production/distribution process.

I personally love the no groove/no sipe, the series I race has that as a rule and it makes my tire preparation time minimal.

It does, but I figured we would see none of that savings. That said, we have run 10 shows this year, zero new tires. I can do that again next year, if they don't force this on us.

They said they usually suggest a 4 race grace period to their weekly tracks to use up the old tires.

Well, I run one used set that long.
