On Wednesday,
June 5, Hoosier Tire conducted a tire test at Toledo Speedway for the ARCA Late
Models. Irish Saunders, Asphalt Product
Manager for Hoosier, conducted the test.
Ken Kolter, lead engineer and his staff were also present at the test.
The cars of
JR Roahrig, #16, John VanDoorn, #61, and Dennis Strickland, #90, took part in
the day-long test session.
3
combinations of tires were tested:
F45/Star 56
3035/3045
F40/F50
After reviewing all test data, Hoosier
has determined that the F40 left side and F50 right side tires are the proper
tire for Toledo Speedway Late Models at this current time.
“The Hoosier
F40/F50 combination is a proven tire and the best fit for Toledo,” said Saunders. “The tire will be consistent and durable.”
Tires will be
available at both the ARCA office and Toledo Speedway Monday, July 1.
*An open test is being planned for
Friday, July 5. There will be no pit
pass fees for Late Model teams. The
plan is to open at 3:30, the Late Models will have the track from 4:30-5:15 and
from 6:45-7:15. We are running our
weekly show that night also. *We plan to have some used F40/F50
tires here at the track for use on July 5 that will be available at no charge.
*Teams planning to test
July 5 must contact Scott or Casey at Toledo
at 419-727-1100 prior to the test.
