Some of you younger folks might be interested in what the SCCA said
in the 1968 Solo Event Regulations some 35 years ago about recaps:
"Appendix A 1.5.1 TECHNICAL AND SAFETY INSPECTION
d. Racing tires, designated as such by the manufacturer, and re-caps
on such racing tires, are generally required. High performance street
tires fitted with inner tubes are permitted on those cars and/or
courses where speeds are not likely to exceed 100 mph, or continuous
running time to exceed five minutes. Slicks are prohibited."
This was really directed primarily toward what we know as Solo I
events, as the "rules" for solo II were not yet mature. In fact, the
same rules said (in part):
"5. Basic rules and standards for conduct of (Category II) events
should be drawn up before the event is run and available to all
competitors. Local sports car club council rules, SCCA Regional,
Area, or Divisional rules, or applicable portions of the SER may be
used."
There were lots of "should" rules and very few "must" rules at that
stage, even for solo I events, and the rules referenced the GCRs for
details on many of the provisions. The entire rule "book" fit on 2
sides of a single 8-1/2 x 14 sheet of paper (albeit in very small
type)! I have these rules as a text file if anyone would like them.
Mumble amongst yourselves.
