Are you going to 131 (IHRA) this weekend?

John, the 1909's would not fit on my car. They were a bit too tall. I've heard great things about them though. I did try the 9 x 30 D4A compound once and was not impressed with them. They were good about the first 20 runs and that was about it. The Hoosiers are consistent throughout and last much longer. I will not be at 131 this weekend.

Joe,
What gear do you run using the Hoosier tire?

Thanks
Keith

Joe, What tire pressure are you running with the Hoosier?
Put a new set on Saturday, ran at 10 and 9 on two respective passes.....spun like crazy.
Talked to Hoosier today, they felt I need to up it to around 12.
I'm on a 10 inch rim BTW.

Lost .04 in the 60 ft. and the video shows excessive spin. Data recorder was not working, so no hard data other than the 60'.
Any help/advice is appreciated.

When I spoke to Goodyear Midwest about the 29x10 bias not being available this year, the person called Carroll Shelby in Las Vegas. He said they are the biggest Goodyear supplier outside of the warehouse and maybe they would have a pair.
It wouldn't hurt to check with them to see if 1 of the 4459 is available somewhere and is a close rollout match.

How many runs are you guys getting before the Do7's seem to go away?

I run a 4 speed car similar to an A/S, and get about 40 to 50 runs. Did not know if that is pretty consistent with A, B/S guys are what.

Don't know about the goodyears but when the Hoosier's go away they go away very quickly!!!
