<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">It was so good to see all the great cars this weekend. I am glad I made it back from Utah in time to see the races on Monday. I have been mapping out my plans as we have a 2nd spit ready to come out of mothballs for next year. I wanted to get info on the tires as I want to test on them and make adjustments to the car(s) to accommodate the change. It appears the TDR is a good predictable tire and would not require too much change on my car from slicks. May need to play with rear camber a little bit. Excited to try them out. <div><div><br></div><div>Jay Creel </div><div><br><div><div><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Sep 3, 2025, at 9:50 AM, Chris Marx via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

In March at the VDCA VIR Wild Hare, I ran a new set of Hoosier HOTDRs (24x7-15) for 1 qualifying, 4 races (I flat spotted one set in the first qualifying when I locked up). My best session was the last race on Sunday with this set. In April, I ran the same set for 4 more sessions at VIR again, running the tread down below spec. I understand the HOTDRs are actually the same compound as R7s. I have not run RRRs, but understand they are a little harder compound, and might last longer.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Sorry I missed everyone at Lime Rock – wish I could have been there, but was fun watching on youtube.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">For what it is worth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Mark Cook <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"> Fot [<a href="mailto:fot-bounces@autox.team.net">mailto:fot-bounces@autox.team.net</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tony Garmey via Fot<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, September 3, 2025 7:42 AM<br><b>To:</b> Triumph FOT<br><b>Subject:</b> [Fot] Race tires<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Are the Proxy RRR the go to tire ?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">This past weekend at Lime Rock , I ran new Hoosier speedsters .
