[Fot] Hoosier R7 tires at the 2020 Kastner Cup.

Amici,

Above is an image of the circa 1976 Goodyear Bluestreak Sportscar Special
bias ply tires that came off the Spitfire. You can see they are about 25%
wider and are not treaded.

The former driver could run about 1.5 seconds a lap faster with an FP car
than our current DP TR4's are running at WIllow Springs.

Food for comparison...

*#72 FP 1969 Triumph Spitfire Mk3*
*#35 DP 1962 Triumph TR4*
*1965 Triumph TR4A IRS...for the road!*
