Ha! try going further back. before RSII there was RS, R-TU and before that 
plain R. how bout the A001-R? and that's just back to the 1980s.

But back to recaps, I don't believe there is a safety issue with running 
recaps. In my mind, SCCA's ban on recaps is really about the control of tread 
compounds and equal availability to all competitors. Cheater recaps have been 
around for a long time in all forms of motorsports. 
It's too bad we can't use them since we've seen some really good tire carcass 
designs come and go. But when we use up the good rubber off the tire, we have 
to throw them out.
