However it's a huge advantage to the series creator, who is one of maybe 5
people who regularly drive their R tires to an event.

And James, I think we all really know what that is.

first of all, the 1% difference is like 0.4 seconds on most courses, less
than the difference between say, hoosiers and kumhos. so its not really a
disadvantage, more like a pax.
also, a "True Street" car should be as bad-assed fast on the street as they
are on the course. if you put on some econo tires then you can get your
nose wiped by any vette on the way to the event. the idea is that "True
Street" can mop up at the stop light derby as well as driving between some
cones. so really, allowing tire changing at all is a perversion of the
original intent.
