    Default WTD: Pro FF Hoosier tires for VIR 2012

    Wanted: Set of Hoosier tires with decent life to use for VIR event. Will gladly consider tires used during the test day. I have one pair of new (never mounted) front R35 tires for possible trade.

    Thanks.

    if ric knew of which he speak that would be a mighty fine offer.... but reality is we have 1 set tires w 3 heat cycles left from last yr. yes they are properly stored, but i have a feeling we will be using them & even in need of a set ourselves.

    ric stick to writing the checks

    Thanks, guys, for the offer, retraction, re-offer and entertainment. :-).

    Last year I was pleasantly surprised to find decent used tires from the first two teams I asked (Scanlon & Valet). Very hospitable paddock.

    it's like Reaganomics. it's starts at the top and trickles down. all in all, a great group of guys in the series. it's why i travel from texas to run the series.

    Andy, wait until you see the dress he's wearing to the banquet.

    Ralph, i bought the silver 98 that Brad Hayes sold. i bought it from the person that bought it from him. the car is excellent. perhaps even a little better than advertised. fresh aluminum head motor and wide track

    I will get over you forgetting my name Ric...eventually...but I suggest that you immediately focus what little remains of your faculties on the important stuff like administering the proper anaesthetic dosage, how to start the IV etc...

    anesthesia is the easy part. didn't forget. just occasionally mix the 2 up. once i was intorducing my wife , who i'd been with for over 20 years, to a new partner at a party and i couldn't remember her name. to make matters worse, or funnier, she called me on it right there, and said 'you can't remember my name, can you"?.

    Well, I seem to have a few strong leads. My hunch is the shipping and hassle of getting yours to me in GA would make it not worthwhile, but send me an email if you want to consider it.

    Thanks.
