Default Hoosier Tires

I have a set of 4 Hoosier A6's 315/18's with 5 heat cycles on them for sale. I am asking $375 for the set and I can bring them too Autobahn with me next weekend if anyone is interested.

I'll take them

I'm planning on getting to the track as soon as they let us in on Friday, and avoid parking in the next zip code.

Looks like 6 St2 cars registered and I believe there is at least one more! That's pretty damn cool!

The forecast just got a little better... 51 a high now for both days. Wish we had yesterdays weather for this weekend. Was running there yesterday shaking down the car after the off season upgrades Joel did. Low's 60's, not a cloud in the sky. Did a running with ShortThrow in his T1 car - had fun - looking forward to the weekend!

A little too early to worry about the weather but racing in frigid temps is no fun.

Had a blast running with clubracer6 as we both had on old tires saving the cars every other turn. His car is nicely setup.

Qualifying on a cold wet track in high 30 degree temps could be a great reason to grab a hot chocolate and keep the robe and slippers on.

I'll be there . . . my first NASA event in the Vette. I've raced the Vette, but not in NASA.

Pretty interesting format, with just 2-run groups, and only 3-competitors signed up (so far) in ST1.

Hoping for a burst of nice weather, as the AM temps for Saturday are not SLICK weather, they are SLIP weather.

Rains anyone???

All Corvette drivers are welcome to warm themselves at Autobahn Garage on the North Track . . . just ask, we're the large White building at turn 7, with a Red horizontal stripe and black roof. Come on in and say HELLO!
