Street tire index class designation
With the addition of "Road Tire" index as a supplemental class for 2012, can we now use the national RT designation in place of our regional SK?

Re: Street tire index class designation
I think the bigger question is do we change our SK classes to match the drivetrain separation of the national classes? I think to use the same letters, the classes would need to be the same.
I don't see those changes happening now that the year has already started, but what do I know?

At this point, my understanding is the RT classes are supplemental and could be nixed if enough people don't show for national events this year.

Re: Street tire index class designation
All this RT stuff does seem to be coming at the last minute, but the announcement posted that RT is being added as a supplemental to Nationals gives a valid reason to change.
I'm just figuring out how much alphabet soup I need to buy to get through the year.

I'm tired of all this class stuff. I vote for 1 class, no indexing, run what you brung, winner take all. Leave it to the course designers to come up with something that favors no particular car

Re: Street tire index class designation
Stick with SK. RT is supplemental and subject to change.

Re: Street tire index class designation
Thanks to all for the input.
I think I have everything but the K, so this weekend's classing might have a bit of a ransom note feel to it...
