Guys here (Indiana) win on AR. I havnt tried one yet, but from what I heard, Hoosiers hook up faster and lose grip later in the race, whereas ARs take a bit of time to come in but stay there the whole race. I'm with DAD though, they're about the same and cheaper. And new is always better. I buy take offs from midget teams, and they all run Hoosiers. So that's what I run.
