BINGO the porpoising was gone! The hard tire was losing traction - 'causing the weirdo dance the car was doing. WHO KNEW!

Ron knew dat's who knew... His durometer told him all he needed to know.

The Hoosiers are toast when they hit 56... even though they were fairly new and looked fine!
I remember the story about the durometer. Have to see if I can find one in time. Last I heard Hoosiers are good for about 10 heat cycles. Not sure how to take that info because to me it sounds like 10 sessions.
