Hey, in "normal" SCCA regions you get 3 events or 1 single-event class win
and then you're in open. The SFR rules are quite gentle, actually --
coddling, one might say.
If you don't want to buy the tires, run street tire (another SFR special,
a good one!). But drive to have fun, and to learn. If one's ego can't
accept not getting a class win every time you run, especially while you
are learning, the problem isn't the class structure :-). Just relax, have
fun, and keep learning.
Personally, I find class wins completely meaningless. I was the only BS
entrant at a recent event -- woohoo, class win! Not. What a bummer it was
not to have anyone to play with. Plus, to measure my driving (always
trying to learn and improve) I had to decide what drivers/classes were
best to compare to. I guess that wasn't too hard, since John Stimson
(BS-Nov) beat me, but hey :-).
