Hey Alex

Which Hoosier Dirt Stocker will fit my 16 inch R-84 OEM wheels and does Tire Rack sell them?

Can't find them on Tire Rack's website, but I can't seem to get a search function that will work on your site.

I want them for a rain tire for the 2004 Nationals.

They are Dirt Stocker's. But I'm not sure where to buy them.

Augs, the only dirt stockers that fit a MINI stock legal wheel is the 205/50 15s. Hoosier is supposed to come out with a molded vice hand cut tread for rain use but I have yet to hear anything else other than that. I buy my Hoosiers from Mid Atlantic Motorsports. Hoosiertom is an expert in Solo II tires and is at most east coast events. BTW are you going to run A3S03s or 4s?

Thanks,

Chris, right?

I'll call Mid Atlantic Motorsports and order a set for the 15 inch multi holes. Do I ask for 'HoosierTom?'

I went ahead and ordered the A3SO3's. Brian G. elsewhere told me he had spoken with Jeff at Hoosier and was told the real difference between the 03's and 04's was the carcass construction giving more endurance. That's pretty much what TireRack emphasizes too.

Anyway I corded a few of this years R3SO3's at Evo Phase II in Tuscon this month, so I don't want to be caught short for Phoenix. This will be my first year on the A's. I've always just used the R's before.

How 'bout you? Good to see there are at least 5 entrants in H stock at Phoenix. I suspect Miniusa will continue their contingency program into 2004. Have you heard anything specific?

I need to get registered with MiniUSA before Phoenix.

Ask for Hoosier Tom, he is a one man show, but the best show in town for Hoosiers.
I am trying to raise money for new Hoosiers, if I can, I will get 4s but if funds are too tight, I may have to settle for two new 3s. I like the idea of longer lasting Hoosiers more than the 215 vs 205 width disadvantage.
I emailed MINIUSA and got an ad for Motoring Gear instead as an answer. I will call Kevin today and see if there is money to be won.

Hey Chris

Can't find MidAtlantic Motorsports anywhere on the web, or in NAM's sponsor or supplier list.

Can you email me his number?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Chris

Brian G. found this on the TireRack website.

Jeff, the Hoosier Rep says they will be available 'soon.'

I'll give a shoot to HoosierTom as well.
