You'll need Mor camber first Hoosiers. And ambient/track temp and number of laps will determine which tire you need.

Ya R's for DE duty, A's for the money shot because you'll roast em typically. For me it's a super fine balance - I have to have them for the starts because EVERYBODY is on them and it's a real PITA to catch them back up on certain tracks due to R's taking 2 laps to come into temp. But after the 6th or so lap they start to cry about it so you have to back off and watch your mirrors for half a lap, race a lap, back off again. Endless. So now we're trying to go WIDE to help the situation. Something many others have proven works but time and money and time and money.

Assuming a warm A7 grips better than a warm R7.

R7's will plateau after the sticker laps for about 6 heat cycles, then go slower and slower.
So if your plan is to register for a weekend and do 3 laps and park it, then go for the A's. But I'd have a second set of track tires to continue enjoying the weekend since that's your plan. Mama never said going fast was cheap lol.

Car's built to take a beating. She's all good
If that's the case, since I'm not racing for trophies, I think the R7 would be a better tire. It'll be faster than my NT01s, I assume, so all good.
Depends. A's will always grip 3x better on a sticker vs sticker setup. Usually 1 warm up, 1 money shot, 1 cool down. The 2nd 10/10ths lap will be slower since they are overheating at that point and your just wasting them. Also the "sticker" lap is going to be the fastest, then everything else will be slower and slower on a steep decline.
