Somewhere back in the mess in my office I have an old NCCSCC (Northern
California Council of Sports Car Clubs) rules book. That's the outfit that
used to conduct all the autocross activity up in the bay area where all these
hi-po motor, quick-steering-rack, CS-tire-changing-rules "stock" Tiger folks
learned their tricks over the years. It specifically forbids ANY Tiger from
running in ANY class on the stock wheels. Period! Seems that the NCCSCC folks
recognized some sort of safety issue or something.
Sheez . . . the dildos should be encouraging people to switch wheels for the
autocross instead of prohibiting it . . .
