I KNOW in this day and age, you wouldn't just post that without a picture of tires on the car right.
On the day it could have been mentioned, investigated and dealt with. but NOW with your statement, and if he says no, what then?
Why not ensure it gets dealt with before competition?

Toyo Proxes with 140 threadwear are considered street tires - not racing tires - Toyo website have all this information readily available.

And even more delighted to see the dialog that took place where competitors were able to express their views on several competition issues and end up with some degree of consensus. But this is motor racing competition, and practically every single competitor would love to have the rules changed to suit his or her particular situation.
So we are keeping the rule where we shall only count the points from the best eight out of ten events.
And for clarification the tyre issue – simple, LOWER that 140 treadwear, move to the top of the Class....A!
Also it was agreed that those in the B Class, if you break out once, you lose the run. Break out twice you are out!
Remember, you have the opportunity to move from B to A even after competition has started, if after your FIRST run you realize that you will be challenged to stay within the Breakout limit of the B Class.

ng357 wrote:well this is true, but there was an up roar about this and it was allowed that the rule be changed to less dan 140 rather than 140 or less. My issue is the break out time being the same as last year when the course is harder. This just allows those who were sandbagging an easier time to be free, while others behind have to spend lots of money to meet up to them. A proper system fair to everyone is hard to get but something has to be done imho[/
quote]Wednesday night at the briefing all in attendance were permitted to voice their opinion and issues in an open forum democratic manner, certainly a display of maturity on behalf of the organisers.
One driver presented the option of classification based on times run in the practice sessions, rather than cc engine size or tyre tread ware rules. This option was put to a vote and the drivers unanimous voted in favour the currently engine classification rule.
You guys cannot have it both ways, this will work for some and not all and will not allow you to reach your fullest potential, rather than becoming a better drivers, everybody is watching engine size, turbo chargers, 4wd, etc.
I believe the playing field is most level by times, and soon we may find out when the complaining starts.
And let us stick on the topic of treadwear and leave underwear out of this, please.

dunno if that's a norm with you, so you think it is with everyone.
But if that's your natural reaction when others respond to you, so be it.

Sitting behind a steering is a qualification?
You should put that on a resume.
