Re:  Toledo Late Model tires

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.

Thank you,
