Supp Classes for 2012

I'm with John on that, I always thought stock meant stock. 140 tread wear might as well be an r comp compared to the tires a car normally comes with.

So with stock having actual dot road legal and sane to use daily tires, what's gonna happen to the tire pax?

So I guess there will be potential for an increase in noisy tires coming from the stock classes.

With all the classes and no prerequisite for Nationals of previously attending a tour...hmmm, sounds like Nationals could become a 2 week event instead of a 1 week event.

I've always believed that Stock classes should run "stock tires". Seems they could've just made that a class requirement instead of adding even more classes. If it thins out any more there won't be enough people to make a class.

We could have a "WDE" supp class as well.

I am guessing it will be difficult for many potential SEDIV competitors to bring themselves to run in a "RTR" class. Personally I would rather jump straight into CSP.

These classes are put up or shut up time for those who have been calling for r-comps to be taken out of the stock classes.

Well SCCA is finally getting some sense when it comes to what "Stock" means. They are introducing new "Stock" classes dubbed, Road Tire classes. These classes will follow the stock category rules, but the tires must remain 140+ treadwear rating. In my opinion, 140+ should be the way stock classes should always have been, but whatever.
