Agreed, after reading that article, as well as numerous threads on different boards...the Kumho/ Hoosier cars are significantly faster than street tire cars. I think the reason the street tire cars are so fast in Reno is the fact that many cars are prepared to the "low end" of their class rules. Like you said Dean.
