Everyone wants a spec tire
No where on here, other then one person, have any of the racers said they do not want a spec tire. Even those who this may impact negatively as an individual racer have supported a spec tire.
My car is already set up to run the Hoosier radial, I have no issues of set up now so keep that in mind that it is easy for me to say this would be a great choice as an individual racer. No learning curve but I am not thinking of myself but rather the entire class.
john and Todd, I realize we won't be privy to the RFP and you have released some of the information but is it possible to ask why only one tire company responded at all? It was mentioned Toyo did aknowledge receiving the RFP but declined to respond at all. For those of asking for a tire of this type is it possible to understand from the SCCA's point of view why they did not respond? It will help us understand better and eliminate guessing that could be off base.
We appreciate individuals such as yourselves (John/Todd) who give time and effort to the SCCA. Also your posts help us understand more so please don't think that we don't value them.
