Tim, I like the idea True Street: real street radials (4) tread wear of 150+.
Drag radial class should be tread wear 150 or less, say DOT, and say "Drag Radial". This would inclued bfg, nittio, mt et street radials, and hoosier drag radials. Nice that you can run any tire on the front in the drag radial class.
I would like to see the rules dropped for "full interior" and "common street equipment". These rules and the one requireing matching outside paint were originally set up by the sponsers of the EFI races who wanted pretty pictures for their mag articles. Gutting the interior doesn't lower .05 in ET. This is bracet racing, so if someone goes even .1 faster, so what. Can you say DIAL-IN. I put my interior back in and didn't see any loss of ET. Unless you remove your front power leather seat, the rest of the interior doesn't weigh a whole lot. I would rather see rules like, fenders, hood, and factory glass in the true steet and drag radial classes.
You might want to furter break the true street and drag radial into 2 more classes, 13.50 and slower and 13.49 and faster. This would allow nearly stock cars to put on drag radials and not have to face 11 and 12 second cars. In case of a low turnout put a rule in "less than 16 cars for the event the two classes (13.5+ and 13.49-) are merged".
Last let people run up to 2 classes for the day. So they can run heads up and brackets or 2 bracket classes. Give the option so people can move up a class. True Street can can also run in the Drag Radial class or a Drag Radial car can buy a second tech card and run with the slick cars. Double entry would be more runs for the cars and more revenue for the event.
Tim you know me well enough but to other people who post here, these are my options to better the event not to help me get and advantage. Good luck with the series.
