"John, your memory is pretty short, that was before I ran F stock in '98.
I got 50 runs out of the set I used in '98, and they still had rubber
left on them. We now get over 80 runs out of the Hoosiers on D. Johnsons
Zo6 Vette.
Jesus
P.S. there were a few factors contributing to only getting 18 runs out
of those tires for you and Pat."

Jesus,
I'll have to admit I wasn't aware of your extended life tires. Thus
I doubt you could say I forgot what I didn't know.
Key factors affecting the Hoosier Autocrosser tire life on our V6
Camaro include:
1) All 18 runs were on concrete: 6 at Mather, 12 at Castle. Castle
is far more abrasive than any of our other current sites.
2) It's is near impossible to adjust camber very much on the
Camaro. As I recall you can get about minus 1 degree on one side and about
3/4 of a degree on the other.
I'm glad you're getting long wear on your Hoosiers. I wish ours
would have lasted longer.
--John Kelly
