    If I actually get my Toyo bucks approved and some tires shipped I will be bringing some but who knows if I'll use them.

    If we could get a large majority on the other tire I bet we could make it the official race group.
    As an interim measure, may be smart to call the class CMCx or something along those lines.

    I'm planning to come and have RR's from Cota as well but I think the ones I ran at Cota I also ran at Hallett-have to check. I'm very interested in the other tire but with ECR being out if I ordered a set I would prefer them to be what I run at Hallett.

    I agree. I would like to use up my old six heat cycle RR's at Cresson then if everyone agrees I have no issue showing up at Hallett with the Falkens.

    To really see how these Falken tires work I would think we would want everyone running them every time we are on track at Hallett (or where ever we all are running them).

    I think we are a long way away from every competitor having an agreement to run street tires at an event. (Whether it be Cresson, Hallett, or wherever) We are having this discussion for a budget reason and I just don't want people spending money for tires when someone could show up with RR's and be way faster.

    We need to do lots more discussions, research, etc with CMC and NASA if we want to see about a massive rule change proposition moving forward. This would be way bigger that even CMC on a national level, it would need an overall NASA approval to become official.

    I love the discussion but just don't want us to get ahead of ourselves.

    Agreed.

    That's good to know, I didn't realize it has to go that high.

    The racing at Hallett is excellent. With multiple regions in attendance it's probably better to stick to RRs. It's the annual AI/CMC National Championship Part 1 after all.

    Does anyone want to run the 200TW TT group at Cresson on 615K+ and compare back to back with RR's? Would give the ability for us to assess the different tires and not tip over the Toyo apple cart by showing up as defectors on different tires. That will mean I'm buying a new set of RR's for Cresson but they would be my COTA tires.

    I'll show up to practice with 10HC tires and the others are stickers, the ~30 HC tires on the car now likely won't make it through my next local practice.

    Just to make the tire situation even more interesting:
    I can't find anyone that has 275/40/17 RR's in stock, hahahaha.
