Excellent point, that's what I get for firing off an
email without stopping to think :-)

Rex already suggested Stock and Everyone Else (STEE),
which is kind of where I was headed with it. Maybe we
could call it STFF (Fast and Furious).
Again, those were just two off-the-cuff ideas. The
point is, I think we could dream up something other
than The End Of Street Tire. Like I said in my first
email, the individual ST "dunce" classes might be the
opposite end of the spectrum -- you win because you
weren't racing against anybody. That cheapens the
competition IMO. If GS-ST ends up thin, I could try
my luck in GS, but as you get more serious the skill
gap decreases a lot (I don't see anybody winning GS in
street tires). So it becomes "if you want a
meaningful trophy, you need to spend another 1K a
year". I think that would be unfortunate. We have
(had) a mechanism in place for people with finite
budgets to experience large competition, and I think
it would be a shame to lose that.
