Showroom stock on RACE TIRES? Never seen a new car in a showroom for sale
with race tires.

Older cars can be modified to go faster but CAN'T have race tires? What am
I missing here? Is this just to make the SS seem to be the fastest and most
desirable group of "normal looking" cars? Maybe that will get some
manufacture money for the best national SS drivers but how would that help
the grassroots portion of this sport?
Since I have a 68 Lotus Europa even now there is no 'stock' class for my
car. Even though I can replace everything with stock OEM pieces.
I agree, the current classing structure needs to be revised. But not
because of expensive shocks for nation competition but rather to attract
more players to the sport at local and regional levels. Then there will be
more people at nationals. Everybody can win in the sport if the
concentration is fair, competitive classing with easily understood rules
from the local level up, not from the national level down.
