Default Legislation That Could Make DOT Race Tires Illegal

Just got this on the f-body.org mailing list and thought I should pass it along...

Click here to go to Hoosier's web site.

Would this apply to Drag Radial type tires, or more for the MT ET street/ Hoosier QTP varieties?

I voted also. Everyone follow the directions that are listed on the Hoosier link and vote. We need to make sure our opinion is heard!
