You have a few days, LS swap isn't hard.

Just 5.3 swap it.

Do it

With regards to NASA or specifically NASA TX. I would like to remind everyone that CMC is consistently the second biggest class behind Spec Miata. And AI/CMC is the second biggest run group other than SM-meaning bigger fields than an ST, GTS, groups, etc. So "hints" make me feel like a slap in the face from a girl you didn't even cheat on. If all of the sudden in a year we look up and there are 20 car fields in AIX that are just CMC cars on a different tire then there will be no "hints".

Thanks for clarity Al. Your car going to make it on track?

Looks like we have 11 committed to running based on Tyler's attendance page (not sure if everyone is actually signed up yet -- I'm not!) and it would be ashame if the biggest CMC field in 2019 was splintered into some AIX and some CMC.

I'd propose we handle the tire deal in the following way:

Everyone runs CMC legal tire for at least R1 and R3 for toyo contingency, and R2 to keep it simple. R4 we re-class the Falkens in AIX and evaluate the 'raceability' of the tires. This has multiple benefits -- namely the Falken cars don't toss all their drops in one weekend, the contingency is as big as it can be for all of us, and we still get to test the 'new' tires.

I'd also propose a discussion amongst the CMC racers on Saturday night about the future of the class and the Texas racers and where we want to go following this w.r.t. tires. We especially need input around how we go forward both from a national level and a Texas region with a tire change should the group elect to pursue it.

Sweet!!!

I was just on the Toyo website. They make a performance 200 treadwear rated tire. Looking at one of their tires might be a possible compromise between NASA, Toyo and CMC.
