[Fot] Kastner Cup Tire Regulations

Mon Jun 27 15:46:14 MDT 2022

Maybe to add from my chats with Kas himself.

As far I know about the K-Cup it is not the car which cross the finish first is the K-Cup winner, it is the car with “out of class performance” who wins.

A TR8 on slicks is a disadvantage to win. Too much power, too wide track, too modern design.

If I would chose a car to win the K-Cup, it would be a 1.1L Spitfire on TD tires :), a underpowered car, driven like stolen.

Cheers

Chris

Just a question.

When I was part of the K-Cup in 2013 and 2019 there were cars on slicks in the K-Cup race.

Has the rule been changed that slicks are not allowed anymore?

Cheers

Chris

The way I read it, treaded slick racers are still competing for podiums during the K Cup races, but I could be mis-interpreting it.

Seems like a reasonable compromise to allow more people to race, while setting standards for who can podium. 

Am I missing something on that angle?

Not good news for those of us who consistently run vintage, which typically requires treaded tires, and are not going to buy a set of R7s for this event.

Its good news that we have nearly 40 cars registered for the Kastner Cup this year (39 as of today).  But it would be great to be at 40 or more for the 20th Kastner Cup! 

I wanted to share news about tires that may have impacted some of our group that typically run on slick tires.  PVGP has modified the "no slicks" rule for Triumphs.  You can run grooved slick tires in the Kastner Cup.  You can also run these tires in the regular run groups, but you will not be eligible for any awards for podium recognition.  For those that don't have tire options this will certainly help.  

So if you're on the fence about attending this year for whatever reason, please consider joining a huge 20th Kastner Cup at Pitt Race.  

Regular entry fee is $595, plus $50 for the Kastner Cup.  After July 1, the fee goes up to $645, so act now!
