Hoosier A40S

[wadegarrett]

I would run that tire. Or the G60.

kk704 G60 anything but the current lineup of over priced trash and the promoters tg get it or have no cars.

I would be all for that tire. Good luck with that though.
Really the only people it would effect is your people that run for UMP points, which I only know of Devin Gilpin in this area that does.

Find a promoter with the balls to run these http://www.southwestspeed.com/?sec=view_part&id=9965
and dump ump.

A lot of us though, have sponsors that expect certain things.. Such as appearances. It's hard to risk that relationship too. On that note, I wish we COULD get rid of Hoosier!

If UMP had any sense, they'd tell Hoosier to bite the big one and partner with AR for the KK704's. It would level the playing field, make the high $$ motors obsolete, and save the racers money too. Oh wait, I need to wake up. That'll never happen......

But, wait it could happen. If the racers would take a stand together. Now it does not affect me so, I really have no say in how the drivers or owners could take a stand but, I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that it does affect and would have some good ideas on what to do. Now getting the majority on board that's another story but, if you could just maybe things could change.

It's only common sense that when people complained about the D's that there was no way hoosier and UMP were going to go without making money selling tires.

go talk to Dean Hoffman and he will tell you at I55 the new A40S did not even make one night. Hoosier is not doing there part, trying blame it one the racing surface,,,unreal its not like I55 brought in new abrasive dirt.

seems silly there able to make a sprint car tire last 55 laps there but not a mod tire .

I took a new A-s and covered it in Lime and wrapped it for a week and ran it last weekend on the RR during the heat and feature. Didnt even look like it hit the track .

I think the point here is Hoosier screwed the pooch. You shouldn't have to do all that to new tires to go racing. You don't have to do that to AR's that's for sure.

QQQQ.............How did the Tire work?? any Traction?

sure looking like Hoosier screwed the pooch on this deal. Read lot of comments on another board, (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) funny Hoosier now trying to blame the racing surface at I55. Track surface has been the same there for quite a while. Would be like blaming the same asphalt at a track when it was never repaved. To make matters worse UMP let the promoters say no more D's in a lot of places. So now what go out and buy some H's ?? (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) funny for Hoosier. Here the list of excuses so far: Too many racers siping the tires incorrectly Too abrasive racing surface Not enough cure time on the tires before they are sold The Wissota racers can tell you that none of these hold water... American Racer tires are looking better all the time. Time to dump UMP and Hoosier for a better tire for the class and a better sanction with only one tire option. Go ask the USRA racers they are not having these kind of issues. USRA is far from perfect but not this kind of grief.
