I was up at Mosport this past weekend and was able to catch the F1600 race. Super tight racing with a good number of cars entered. The cars look like a blast to drive and some older cars were keeping up with the newest F1600 available.
That said why can't we in the lower 48 get our act together and make the switch to the tire used in Canada. Sure it will increase lap times, but a premium will be placed on car control. The fast guys will still be the fast guys, but the out lay of cash per weekend will go down drastically.
I spoke with at least three different teams including the Spectrum dealer and each said they go three weekends on the Toyos. In fact it was mentioned that the tires get better with age since the tread wears down. For rains they throw on a set of fresh Toyos.
$500 for a set of tires that are good for more than one weekend sure sounds good. Is that why you see such good fields north of the border? I know I would make many more races per year if this one expense is reduced. $1,000 for a set of Hoosiers is just plain stupid.
