I guess my first, second, and third places last year in Street Tire in my
SM car were a fluke. I think those finishes show that a SM can be
competitive in the class.

This obsession with "convenience" competitors is getting really
tiresome. There will *always* be "convenience" competitors no matter how
much you change the rules, classes, and run groups. They can run any run
group as WRG or Fun Run, so there is now way to avoid them. They have been
a part of the sport since the beginning, and will be there long after I am
in my grave. If they all start putting Prepared on their time cards, are
we going to kill those classes too?

Then let's ask them want they want instead of blind siding them with what
*we* think they want.
