Thanks to Bill for coming over here and setting this up and trying to get me up to speed on this system, while Monte was on the speaker phone with us to give us technical support. Bill was here for about 4hrs. or so. I tried to go through the steps last night and failed 'till Bill got on the web and showed me a step I was missing, so a lot of hrs. on this project. I think I got it now, maybe, well hopefully, I guess we will see! Thanks Bill and Monte.

The TA2 is now a full blown series with the addition of the Challenger.
Racers: this is a points series for the first half of the 2015 season, do you have a TA2 ready to go yet?

Update on these tires: I have had them in the freezer in a tire container inside a zip lock bag. I took them out the other day and they felt like they dried out somewhat. My conclusion is if you take the time and effort to make these donuts work, then use them up asap. I keep my production tires in the freezer with no problems and some have been in there for years.

Rich; I did not race with these tires last night, however I did put in a lot of practice with them on 3 different GT-1 cars and put in enough laps to constitute a race. I am pleased that these tires performed as well as the Pro Track tires. I did not see any difference at all other than I accidently cut these tires narrower than the Pro Track, there was no significant difference in handling, but I think if these tires were left wider, it would enhance my way of driving. Bottom line: I will use these donuts in competition and will order more to replace my worn out Pro Tracks.
In my opinion, a person should have a tire truer to mount these donuts. Also, I used double stick tape to mount the donuts and I am still looking for a glue to use, I tried super glue and it was a total failure as the glue dried too fast and ruined the donut.

Rich; I have a set on and ready to go. I will try them at the next race coming up this Sat. Mar. 30th.They should handle the same as they are the same rubber compound and after using my tire truer to bring them down to size, I think they will work quite well. I will let you know after this race.
I have not tried ( other than this ) to come up with anything else yet.
