Hoosier A40S

[blackdirt]

The A-40 s announcment was made back in October 2014. Maybe they should have started there production earlier to have the proper cure time.
"Early season track prep,weather conditions and rule changes" This sounds like something Obama would say!

[DirtDirtCrazy]

Just curious...was this tire being used by anyone in Florida during Winter Nationals?
It seems this issue just popped up once everyone started racing the Midwest Tracks.

[JustAddDirt]

No tires were in Florida. at least that most know of.
I believe they started production in March.

[dirtmod21]

I was told that this tire was being tested at UMP fall nationals at Eldora. Not sure, but does anybody have proof of that?

[CsR41]

It was tested the day AFTER the nationals.

[JustAddDirt]

who ran them?

[KynetixSolutions]

The chosen ones were the ones who tested them. What Hoosier needs is time to let tires have a shelf life, they just simply waited to long before they started production for this years racing. Wiping hydrogen peroxide, methanol, gasoline, various solvents from a hardware store plus the addition of all the elements of the environment will help accelerate the curing process. Some of what you can end up seeing from doing this will some cracking in the tires, don't be overly concerned about this it's just the tire drying out some. The cracking will not hurt the performance of the tire.

[blackdirt]

So tire sales will go up, because the tires are not going to last due short cure times. There is a reason for everything this tire company does. They are not going to make a tire that lasts longer or better. That would be money out of there pocket.

[KynetixSolutions]

Well you can either complain about it or take some advice, either way the tire company is going to continue and the tire rules will not change. I'm giving you racers some free advice which is very rare in this sport. It's up to you how you use that advice.

[CsR41]

I don't know who was the driver JustAddDirt, but Shanon will openly tell you when it was tested.

either way goes to show you that both UMP and Hoosier dropped the ball and they are gonna laugh all the way to the bank as always.
All the tracks that dont allow D's are really take the brunt of the deal

Thanks for the advice. The only problem is if I use these chemicals to make there tires work, and I get checked for an altered tire I will be called a tire cheat. I don't think I should have to do any work to a 128.00 tire.

[KynetixSolutions]

A high percentage Hydrogen Peroxide and a naturally weathered tire will pass the testing process, but it will take a couple weeks at least and its hard to get a concentrated version of Hydrogen Peroxide.

I like the new A' s from what I have seen , but I also loved the D's and ran them all night long most track conditions 4-5 races. Maybe the new A won't require you dopers out there to contaminate the air my driver breaths . Leave them in your closed up hot trailer all week after a cycle or 2 they will likely be better the next weekend .

Brian Ruhlman (at Eldora) and Jamie Lomax I believe were two that tested the new A40S at the end of last year. Guess from the sounds of it there will be a lot more H's ran this year due to the excessive wear of these tires...
