Hoosier A40S

[72Dubya]

What do all these UMP tires punch on the duro? I run USRA stuff and know what the KK-704 punches in say 70 degree weather.

Brand new tires in 2014 punched on our durometer as follows:

D40: 40-45
A40: 50-55
H40: 65-75 (Hoosier seems to be very inconsistent with the H's IMO, I have never bought two that punched the same)

No, for the most part the guys are happy until the guys racing 2 classes above their knowledge and pocketbook start crying making them constantly change.

Great post!

The problem is there are not that many guys that can afford it. Every year it gets less and less that actually can but, I say keep the A- mods for the guys that can afford it and get a set of rules for the B-Mods the same instead of different rules for different tracks. They do that in a couple of years the B-Mods will pass the A-Mods in car counts. I'm just curious then the guys that can afford it should not be complaining about the new tire right? Because after all they can afford it. Really for me it don't matter because,I have no vested interest just a fan of racing so, really I have no say. Just think it's healthy to have a good conversation about how to keep the sport on solid ground.

Have to at least give Hoosier credit for stopping production of the new tire.

I have talked to a few track promoters in Central Illinois and if they could get a few tracks to go with them they would Jump ship from UMP.... Maybe all Drivers with the same interests should talk to your local promoter and give your 2cents on that subject. I agree UMP isn't all bad but they don't seem to be listening to the drivers and going in direction that drivers are asking

bring it on , bring the spoilers back, get a better tire and still have simular engine rules and let them role. and one tire for all tracks...now we are talking

Anybody else see this? Looks like the A40 is back in production.
