To check my understanding - Street Tire will still exist as a trophy class, and be scored by PAX; but will not run combined in a single run group, instead each with its respective normal class? I don
The Street Tire Classes will compete as separate classes and NOT be Paxed. There will be trophies for each street tire class. Bryan To check my understanding - Street Tire will still exist as a troph

As a former competitor in the Street Tire class, I am unhappy to see this happen. It basically destroys what has been a large, competetive class, and adds fifteen new classes each with too few compet
While I have not run in the paxed street tire class in a while, I agree w/ John that it's interesting and fun because of all the competition; I like large classes. Separate street tire classes for ev
On the new Chief list I forgot the guy that most of you will be hearing New Chief responsible for Event Chairs is Tim Dolan. Start signing up now. Bryan _____ WEB team, Please post on WEB site. At th
Wow! Did anyone ask the street tire competitors if that is what they wanted? Maybe they like running against a large competitive PAX'd class? I am all for event efficiency, but not over killing a cla
I looked at the series results, and for the most part it looks like Street car had good consistent turnouts. Marina was low, and the National Tour was low (go figure). I'm not convinced that this fi
I predict having separate street-tire classes for each stock class will really hurt the number of race-tire purchasing stock-classers. Maybe that's the point.. And maybe that's a good thing since the
I also think that the negatives out weigh the positives with this new incarnation of street tire. Street Tire as it was most recently run was the one place where a competitor could turn if their Nati
Note that I have added number of competitors in class for every event, and number of events run for every competitor on the points pages to make it easier to see how attendance varied. http://www.sfr

First I will address the logistics problem. Looking at the attendance numbers (I have entered them into a spreadsheet if anyone would like to look at it), there were only 3 events out of the 22 event
I guess my first, second, and third places last year in Street Tire in my SM car were a fluke. I think those finishes show that a SM can be competitive in the class. This obsession with "convenience"
C'mon Rex. You well know that the Street tire class is a bunch of underprepped cars running on street tires. Throw in a PAX factor (ideally based on cars prepped to their individual class limits) and

Jerry, in this year's slush season, there were as many SM competitors in Street Tire as DS competitors (averaging 3.0 per event), tied for a close second behind GS (averaging 3.4 per event). -- john@
Jerry, Your direct quote: SM guys are out of luck, but they were never competitive in Street Tire either It sure looks like you said SM guys were never competitive in Street Tire. I am not a "conveni
Hey, one man's underprepared car is another man's competitive advantage at Oakland, Golden Gate Fields, and Monster. :-) Exactly, which is what this really is. If the steering committee wants to make

First of all, I would like to point out that the event with only 6 Street Tire competitors was Round 7, the 2-day National Tour in Atwater. If I recall correctly, Street Tire was not offered as an of
Absolutely it would have changed my reaction. Because it would be a discussion about the Pro's and Con's of having novice, street tire, and race tire competitors from the same class running together,
