marshallmosty Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Also posted here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41539 How is NASA Management going to handle a suedo spec tire for the remainder of the year? 1. Any DOT allowed? (Nitto, BFG, Toyo, Hankook, Hoosier) 2. Only DOT tires "similiar to" RA1's, i.e. no Hoosiers or BFG? 3. Completely open tire class, i.e. full slicks? Also, how will the Toyo contingency work going forward. Currently the "big money" is only for 5+ starters, obviously with the assumption that they are running RA1's (or 888's for 18"). If we have a mix of tires in a spec tire class, will the Toyo contingency be viable? Also, has NASA discussed Toyo Buck expiration with Toyo. It would be unfair, IMHO, for racers to have certificates expire due to a shortage from Toyo, outside of the racer's control. As a side note, what are NASA's plans for 2012? Is the tire shortage expected to last into 2012? What is the possibility of a new spec tire supplier? The reason I ask is for the year-end contingency Toyo bucks. It would be a shame to push all year for a championship and have $2000 worth of Toyo bucks that won't be of any use if we change suppliers...
