I hope Jerry changes his mind on that rule.....cutting tires helps you get a couple more races out of them.

kill anyone, and alky will no make up for 70lb,i called jenny craig for a sponsorship but was declined , i think there is alot of guys racing these cars with stk 1000 on gas with the same problem maybe 930 or so would be better and then a 40lb differance on alky to 970 would be alittle better then 70lb,
and there are 2 d15 tires am i wrong on that.but you should be able to sipe them maybe not groove them.
by the way amsa was great this year and jerry and his team done a great job! good luck to you all next year
i will keep working on jenny craig for some help so maybe i can race with you next year but for now i will not be there
I can't disagree with you. Ultimately the best rule would be gas only, and a weight of 950 pounds. That would help the bigger guys (my kid only weights 140lbs) and keep costs down.

I figured the tire would be the SP2....isn't there only one size of those vs. two sizes of D15s?
