Be very interested to see your results with those new tyres . I know GY also have a specific FSS radial . I find I cant get more than about 80 laps or so when i ran the hoosier 30x10.5 .
My home track is Sydney Dragway nice concrete 1/4 mile, but last couple years raced more at South Coast Raceway and Sunst Strip both 1/8 regional tracks but great hook . Like you west coast mid west racers these 2 tracks are 14hrs & 11 hrs drive respectively . Sydney doesnt get as cold as Vegas but can be as hot , was 108f & 110 grains of water 2 weeks ago .

What track isn't running Super Pro at their bracket events?

I can only recall hearing of one track being all No-Box, but that track is a long way from you.

Well, what can I say; I like the new tire. After getting the car calmed down on them. They started showing some promise with repeating 60's a couple times & the variance narrowed down to thousands of a second from hundredths.

I'm not giving full credit to the new Hoosier tire, because we were starting to make headway with the M/T PBR. The plan is to race the PBR's next weekend to see how the work with the current suspension set-up.

I'll get out sometime this year to try them.

I like to configure my car to ET and MPH higher than what would be expected. Example, 7.00 ET and 102 MPH. So my car leaves slower than most but has good top end finish. My tire size is 275/60R15 M/T radial. I place more importance on getting a clean light (first) than running faster than opponent where HIS light (car leaves, roar of engine, etc) might be distracting to me. That's just how my brain works. For years, I've been in the 6.80 to 7.30 area and I've done very well using that strategy. 7.0 car won big, big $$$ at Bristol.
Been a bottom bulb guy forever. Don't like delay boxes nor do I like using trans brakes in FOOTBRAKE.

I have a pair on the shelf, but they are so much larger than the "same size" 29.5 x 10.5 PBR, I cannot even get them near fitting on my car.
I mean I can't even fit them into the wheel opening enough to get near a stud....
