Don't know if everyone has seen these:

They are NOT DOT so I assume that means the same points as slicks (6)?

The GACs are not as fast as regular Hoosiers. They were designed for longer wear required of GA races are about 25% harder than regular (at least that was Hoosier's story 2 years ago when I used them at Fontana). I would suggest that anyone who uses them should just take the pts for normal Hoosiers.
I don't know about the Rolex. Those are slicks so I guess you'd take 6.

Jack, Mike,
Joe Hegner got a set from Hoosier while we were at one of the Fontana events this past year. Those were the tires he was using when he spun at turn 3 into the wall in his GT3. As was pointed out, they are more of a endurance tire and do not have the stick of the 04 hoosiers. Might be a nice practice tire though if they fit correctly. The side wall sizes are a bit strange in a 285 and 245 so I am not going to pursue them even for practice.
