Default track hoosiers vs kumho

a competitor of mine has the track version of the hoosiers as apposed to the autox ones. i was wondering how they'd stack up in autox conditions against the old kumho (victoracer.) i know they will take longer to warm up (if they ever do) but thats all i know. there was a thread about this a while back, but it was before the forum name change, so i can't find it.

i have run on the R3S03 (roadrace compound) hoosiers in autocross and they are very competitive. i feel that i can warrant the extra grip from the A3S03 (autocross compund) in events. BUT, the ecsta v700's are excellent excellent tires, especially at rougher autocrosses like the NASA events. i am going to save the hoosiers for big time events now. also, it's nice that you can use them on the big tracks too.
