It is important to know that all Hoosier Racing Tires are designed for a specific purpose, fitment, and application and effective immediately Hoosier Racing Tires are not recommended or to be used on Nitro injected A/Fuel Dragsters, Pro Fuel Dragsters, Fuel Funny Cars, or Top Fuel Dragsters. We are developing tires for some of these applications and notice will be given when these tires are available for sale. Never utilize a tire for a purpose it was not intended. Utilizing Hoosier Tires in any form outside of their intended use constitutes misuse of the product and can cause SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. posted after the crash at englishtown why not other class of cars???

Maybe it is because their other tires are designed for purposes other than what is listed in the statement? Just taking a guess If that is incorrect, they are the best hooking unsafe tires I have ever used

Have you seen what TF and the others do to a tire?
Whole different deal than lower powered cars...

well you would think about some q-16 cars and like that could be the same, then look at al-anabi race cars alot still run hoosiers! fatigue , stress would be the issue as i have purchased used slicks from 'diggers' and i have seen how bad the sidewals are torn up, may not do that any more.

After having read that Hoosier reps TOLD them NOT to run those tires, NHRA is 100% right in giving these guys the boot. If they had any decency they would be paying for the other guys car too.......
