Sam,
Based on what I have seen in Vintage with RMVR this year, the Hoosier
tire is a fast ticket on the cars which have been running them the past
two seasons. It appears to be about a 2 second advantage and very
forgiving before they go away. I have been running R1s for three
seasons and I am giving the Hossier's a good look for next season. Not
cheap, but a few folks are swearing by them.
Best of luck, check Grassroots Mag. for dealers in your area.
