Jack,

What is it about the Yoko/Hoosier combo that works? I've also seen Pete 

Beckham run that combo and one or two cars at Silver State. I just 

thought they were crazier then me! :-] I understood one is radial (Yoko) 

and the other is bias ply (Hoosier). Some one told me before the camber 

set up is much different on a bias ply tire versus radial...educate me 

Obi-wan-kanobi.
