200 TW Tire Sub Class Interest

[Rob Liebbe]

It can be said that some are voting with their wallet (partially my reason - work, time and current car issues are my other reasons). The Nitto NT01 seems to be a really good tire and is used by a friend of mine when running very fast in DE events in a Shelby GT350. I know Nitto is a sub brand of Toyo and is heavily involved in other race types, Drift comes to mind immediately.

Maybe a pitch to Toyo is that showing the Nitto name in a class that is not based on high spending (all racing is spendy) would be good advertising for the depth and variety of the Toyo family of tires.

A dozen or so drivers speaking with their wallets isn't going to get the attention of Toyo to get them to change their recipe. If the rest of the folks Nationwide and in all classes running RRs aren't speaking with their wallets then you're wasting your time. I'm betting there aren't all that many current racers who've experienced the original RA1 so most just accept the tire situation for what it is, not knowing that it could be better.

I wish you guys all the best of luck in getting somewhere, but it is painfully obvious that neither NASA or Toyo have any desire to help the situation and simply don't give a rats ass about it and therefore you are mostly peeing into the wind.
