Re: Blue Coil
As always, good information Dietmar. I started looking around and in a search and came across this page on "Bosch Blue Coils" that might be helpful. It appears to be a bit dated dated. It also talks about the resistance of different coils that BLS mentioned. I was hoping it would have had ...

Re: New FV Committee - Call for Members
Alex Bertolucci / John Petillo is there really any difference?!
Yes, this is the FV Committee Notice that Steve Davis sent out the notice about through the FV registry. He mistakenly put our mutual friend Alex Bertolucci instead of me as the person putting out the Committee Call.

Thanks Steve. Perhaps Hoosier is moving the chess pieces this way as a way to deal with reduced sales from COVID. It's certainly seems that it will be tougher for those that are just making into the lead packs here and there to benefit. That it ties it to how many tires you buy I think is a good bal...

Re: HOOSIER CHANGES FV TIRE CONTINGENCY RULES!!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the note. I had not seen this. I'll check out the web site later, but do you know if this policy is the same for all of their racing tires, or just FVS?
Thanks,
John
