The toe strap or 944 tow hook look promising.

Thanks Eric. I think I'm going to have something fabricated for the rear.

Digging up an old one here...Sean what did you end up doing?

FWIW, I ran full treat RA1s as wets in my first 944SuperCup series. By the next year, the field had latched on the Hoosier wets, which were a MUCH faster wet tire than the RA1. Of course, five of the first three races were wet races! I had some catching up to do that year.

Gary R.

Yeah, like a set of Hoosier Wets!!!

Sean F

Wow, old thread.

Hoosier wets, Hoosier wets, Hoosier wets. You can wave to everyone who is running something else as you pass them.

Ok, Ill keep this old thread going. I have a set of Hoosier wets that are at least a year old and maybe two as I got them second hand but no heat cycles at all. I have not had the oportunity to use them yet. How long do you think they would be usefull just sitting around waiting for their day in the sun er I mean wet?

APKhaos

Depends a bit on how they've been stored. My RA-1s had been sittign on teh trailer rack for maybe a year, and had developed a nice rock-hard surface. Positively dangerous in the wet. Took 'em out and punished 'em for a few laos in the dry, and they came right back to good again. If you find your are a little hardened, try getting them hot with a few laps in the dry. Don't overdo it - the Hoosier wets are a LOT softer than RA-1s.

Chris M.

Gotcha, thanks.

i'd guess that they are still good to go for at least another couple of years...assuming they weren't stored in the sun i guess....

i have a set of wets that is 3 years old now and has seen a LOT of use...from snowy conditions to hot drying track...this year they will be used as intmerdiates as i'm getting a new set...i have been pretty successful this year on the old set, even after so much use/abuse...they stay in my enclosed trailer year round...seems that wets last forever if you dont run them on dry track...

Gasser

Thanks! I keep them cool in my garage most of the time. They still feel soft for the most part. Maybe this is the year I get to use them. Not that Im wishing for a rain race
