Mark and Everyone Else (especially Tommy and Stu;-),
My opinion of the R25A's . . . they felt so good that my first reaction was
that Tommy and Stu had them at Nationals and that was why they were so
fast! (grin)
I'm not saying that Hoosier would have done such a thing, what I'm saying
is that at the Petersburg Pro, they felt VERY good starting on the first
run on a HOT day. They had more "apparent" grip than my Nationals tires
(which had only two events since Nats) had a couple of weeks earlier after
a few runs to get them warm. I tried comparing GEEZ data but the data is
not conclusive.
Bottom line, I think that they are probably better. Hoosier says they will
"last longer".
Kelly liked them because even though they had plenty of grip, they aren't
as hard to clean gravel off of between runs(I have no clue how the magic of
chemistry can do that but they definitely were easier to clean).
Happy motoring!
