Thanks John. It is a huge amount of work in the background..
Thomas copeland, myself and Mike B are all working on a similar shared long term vision for the success of F1000 !

It is a pleasure working though with the Hoosier team as well.. The guys at hoosier (Bruce Foss, Tim Gilvin, Tim Gerhardt) are all amazing guys who put 110% into making and supporting an amazing product.

I think from runoffs results in FC & FB they are the winning tire no question. They have amazing support for the community and series like ours.
