Pirelli/'08

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm really looking forward to their participation in the Rolex Series next year.
No slam on Hoosier. I just hope that the Pirelli's work equally well on all chassis!

Agreed. I don't care how much faster they make the cars per lap, I just hope that they are equal on all chassis and are never a factor in deciding who wins any races, unless of course they put the Doran on a massive winning streak. Cheers [:cheers]

Word is from some of my well healed sources that the Pirellis were a second or more quicker on both the Daytona and Homestead courses. One driver told me that the DP course record will be easily broken due to rules changes and the new rubber on both Rolex Series classes next year. The new tires are not only faster but word is they degrade less drastically than the Hoosiers.

The DP is about to get sexier with new aero, new tires.

Rod, its gettin' better all the time!

That's good news, X. Like I said I wasn't slamming Hoosier.
I think they've done a decent job considering how many unknowns were involved when this whole thing started. Glad
they're staying with the KCS!
