Most classes have "the car", "the tire" and "the setup", and if you don't follow the formula, you have an uphill battle to be competitive. We could easily make a list of the classes/cars we're talking about. So, they can do whatever they want with the rules. It'll just shuffle the deck a little bit. |

Why don't they just set a durometer rating since from what I'm gathering here is that treadwear is an abitrary number? If they don't punch at a minimum number they are not legal. They did this in spec tire classes when I ran karts. ie, Burris Tire sponsored a series I ran in. Our tires had to punch at a 55. We could treat the tire but it still had to punch at a 55. This really uposet the handling as we normally ran our lefts at a 8-10 point lower punch that the rights.

But they already can compete like that in the Tire class we have now. And if we add the RT* classes, what's the motivation for jumping out of the inclusive tire class we have right now to go to under-subscribed classes? But they could also compete in any of the regular open classes we had even before tire class.  There is nothing in the rules that says you *must* have "race" tires to compete in *ANY* class. You could run A-Mod on 500 treadwear Sears all-season Weather-Handlers if the car is otherwise legal for that class. Tried that once. Ran a C/P Camaro on all seasons, it was fun but not very productive. |
