I dissagree, the rule was written cuz there were no tires available,
PERIOD! What's different now? There have been cars out since 96 (great A/X
cars) and still no tires. Club race is allowing alternates cuz they know the
tire co. are not driven by SCCA, isn't it time we realise we are not a
pimple on the ass of the tire companys?
