These are PROPOSED changes gather from the various discussions. Use this area to further discuss these. Based on the feedback we get the rules will be changed (or not) to reflect these updates. It is anticipated that some rules changes will NOT be accepted, but all are up for debate.

11 Fuchs
15x7 fuchs 23.3 mm offset allowed

12 Any wheel no lighter than cookie cutter Any 15x7 wheel is allowed not less than XX lbs. Any offest may be used by overall track width must comply with section

13 205/50 R15 RA-1
Spec tire is 205/50 R15 RA-1

14 225/50 RA-1 With allownace for R888
Spec tire for 2010 is the 225/50 R15 RA-1. Competitors may use up existing supplies of R888 for regional races through out 2010. The only tire allowed at Nationals will be the RA-1. Tire shaving is allowed.

11: No -Cookies/PhoneDials still easily available
12: No - See above
13: Neutral - I Like the idea of a more common tyre size to leverage numbers but the life of the 225's are attractive
14: Yes - some of us back of the pack drivers cant even wear out r888's fast.

#11 is bad for us. They're expensive, hard to come by, and offer a performance advantage due to light weight.

#12 seems alright, but would be difficult to enforce, and then you have performance issues with where on the wheel the weight is placed. I believe this would introduce more problems than it solves or lowers cost.

#13 is dead as far as I know.

#14 is fine with me... Use those garbage R888's all you like, but Nationals must be one tire and one tire only. We got screwed by that this year.
