I run the Hoosier radial on my stocker which I also bracket race. I just got 210 passes to the cords on mine. If you have tread on them they should hook. They are not worn out till the tread is gone. That being said on a marginal track you can have problems. First walk the starting line to see if you can find a better spot to stage in. Then knock about 5 degrees of timing out of it and 2-3 lbs of air out of the tires and if you have weight you can try that too. Sometimes no matter how well you have your car set up you have to go to plan b
