we will be running slicks to limit of the rules, rest assured. my comment
about DOT tires was part of the reasoning that we can be competitive. you
have to remember that cobra replicas at autocrosses are generally considered
overpowered novelty items, not successful autocross cars, and considering
the types of responses ive gotten i think it will remain so until someone
wins at nationals in an FFR. basically i keep getting told that nationals
is a big scary place and i cant count on doing very well.
