NO.... not all tires hook up the same on different cars. my normal tire selection changed over the weekend and i
had to try 4 different selections till i found the right one.

We've begun VERY preliminary discussions with other clubs regarding a potential series and this may or may not affect rules for next season.

Personally I agree with Gerry in that a link car is set up very differently than a t-bar car and unless we're prepared to make the class completely spec we can't just pick one element like tires to mandate.

I would like to see the class expand.  If we stick a new set of rules to it, I guess it could work either way.  I'm not very good with politics.
