Re: Horray for Langley!
The Mazda was damn impressive. There were some great runs last night.
As for the Hoosiers, yes they are street legal. Are they street tires? NO. You really wouldn't wanna run them on the street. If, for nothing else, they do qualify for DOT ratings, but the casing is very thin and light. I've had them puncture on a sharp rock at Pungo years ago. And they're lighter now! I'm also a Hoosier dealer and I've been running them for 20+ years. I drive the black 77 Z28 and it's been on Hoosiers forever. The old bias ply "autocrossers" actually felt better, but the radials are by far better.
The tires that are impressing me so far are Carlos' Avons. They seemed to work great right out the box. It'll be interesting to see how they do when it gets hotter out there.
See everybody next week!
