OK Tire Sportsman Series Tire Selection for 2013 Race Season
As
most everyone has heard, Goodyear racing tires are no longer
manufacturing short track racing tires. After many discussions and
technical research, we have settled on the Hoosier 970 for the 2013 OK
Tire Racing Series. This tire meets the mandate of a limited tire. It is
very similar in compound to the Goodyear grooved tire and should
provide continued great racing in the series, putting driver and chassis
at the forefront. The 970 holds the car the same as the Goodyear, so no
re-leading should be required. This tire has been run on sportsman cars
in BC and proved to be a good competitive tire. The tires will be
140.00 each plus applicable taxes. Tires will be available from
Finishline Racing Products and from Andy at Agassiz speedway.
Finishline
Racing Products will again do the tire prepay program. Tires prepaid by
April 2 2013 will cost 129.95 each plus applicable taxes. Contact Greg
at 250-392-6825.
