JerryW OFFLINE Endurance Racer If you feel in control you arent going fast enough Posts: 659	Crap That's my season done - I can't afford tires every other weekend and What I have on hand wont compete with the HoHo's anyway. At least the +7 had a chance of being low budget and compative. PS - link gets page not found - go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on Prize$ and then page down to The Hoosiers section.

I found this on the website, not through official channels.

Jerry, this does not say that Hoosier is the spec tire for the season. This does make it almost certain that a Hoosier will be among the options. I'd read into that an open tire is very likely, though I don't know that for sure - I haven't gotton an official say on that yet.

I would expect that Hoosier will be *the* spec tire for nationals, based on what I know now. For Nationals, it almost has to be, as we can't have multiple tires legal, that are not available at that time.
