Contingency Hoosiers

Post by Eric Clements »

Talked to the Hoosier people while at PRI. Get your contingency tires ordered before Dec. 15th or you wont get them!

It was a longer conversation than that but they are not giving any consideration to late requests.

If you place in the top 3 of a National event, whilst running Hoosier tires and you have Hoosier stickers on your car, then you win tires which you need to claim.

A slight simplification of the rules, but you get the idea.

Thank you Max! I'm assuming by "National event", you mean "Nationals" in Lincoln in August/September. But if you meant ANY National event, I'm presuming there haven't been any SINCE Nationals. So...going back to Eric's post, why on earth would his warning of sorts even be needed. I know if I had "won" them, I'd certainly have them by now.

Any National Tour, Pro or National Championships.

Some people are just more "baller" than you or I, Ed!

The Berry Evo is like Hoosier vending machine. They win so many that it becomes difficult to keep up!

Tires take up a lot of room and get old.. so you don't really want them till you want them.
