I see the technology as *advancing*, not declining.  I think the current gen
Hoosier A tire and the Kumho as just as good or better than the R1's of the
past.

Besides, tires are available to everyone so even if tires got 'slower', they
would get slower for all cars...so the 'formula' may change but realative to
each other, the 'answer' is the same...right?

OK folks, here's the issue:

What happens to cars that are classed in stock classes when the technology
(products) that make them fast are no longer available and thus no longer at
the same performance level as in prior years?  This is regarding the loss of
the BFG G-Force/R1 tires that have made many stock class cars competitive.
Is there any consideration by the SEB/SCAC to reconsider the classing of cars
when they are no longer the same formula?
