I have double-checked this, but it is my understanding that there is no
blanket ban of radials being contemplated, and that actual highway
radials such as Sid's Continentals are not the focus of concern. My
understanding is that the board is concerned with certain racing radials
that give some cars and unfair advantage and non-vintage performance.
My impressions is that the board may make changes, and whether and what
depends upon what alternative tires will be available in the 2001
season.
