Erik.....I am working on some test sets

Since Peter is hoarding half of the available RA1's in his garage maybe you can test with me

When is you rnext event at Sebring so we can test together (and maybe I will be nice and include Peter)

I'd stick with a known tire first, then look at this one later on.

But he's out of town right now. Maybe I'll go by the warehouse and help him clean up some of his stash. But his rears are 335's and I don't think I can spoon those under my fenders.

next time Sebring will probably be May 13-15 (3 days w PBOC) since I'm doing Savannah this month and VIR end of April.

March 25-27, 3 days w PBOC. And since I've never been there, I'm requesting not to instruct and just to relax and learn the track. Peter is not coming, but I think Juan Poro (2007 white GT3) is coming, so should be fun

There is a very simple reason why Hoosier owns the market for racing (at least with NASA) - contingency. All GY needs to do is throw something out there similar and suddenly you'll see quite a few folks testing to see how it does and I'm sure sales will pick up.

Of course, Hoosier also makes a pretty damn good tire, but I'd hope GY would think of that before putting them out there, premium lettering and all.

Forgot to mention, Yoko has a pretty good program, but it seems their regular slicks are not worth the penalty we have to take. This of course wouldn't be a problem for GY since it is a DOTR.

I'd like to try a set on the RS. If a group buy happens, LMK.
