Bye-bye Magical toyos?
And it looks like they are paving the way for the toyobaru to be the car-to-have for CS. Hopefully this brings in new blood...

Hey Sammm, aren't you glad you spent all that time converting your car to an MS-R Package now!

So why does the SCCA feel they need to banish the Toyos??
Something about it being the de facto tire for STC, STS, and maybe STF. I know a guy back in AZ who was thinking about developing his STR MR2 based on the 195 toyo!
Good, cheater tires and soft pax bastards.
Looks like the M3's get to play again, since the E46 and E92 went to FS.
CS looks very attractive for the NC right about now. I'll have to see it before I believe that the Subota is ready to dominate, but I'm willing to listen.
I'll bet Slates and KB are pissed.
I think they knew it was coming.
Last month KB told me it's a CSP car in disguise.Quote:

He has found a way to fit 255s so he is doing that.Quote:

Then what do you do with a class that was pretty competitive and well subscribed that you now screwed up. 2. It makes BS course dependent. Higher speed courses or courses with lots of offsets or slaloms may be better for the MSR/Z0K. They should have provisionally classed the Toybaru for a year and settled back to see what happened in my opinion, rather than potentially screwing up two pretty well subscribed and competitive classes.Quote:

I have no plans to ditch the MSR. I still think it is very competitive in RT even with a BS index, and with the index, who knows how it will stack out next year.
Have fun this weekend.
If they want to ban the 195 Toyo they should limit it to STR where all the NB paranoia exists... Letter written
I know STS and STC are pretty well dominated by cars that can run the 195 Toyo, so it shouldnt be an issue there, but how many cars that are STF=eligible would not be able to run it? I'd be curious to know which classes are like STR, where some cars can't run a 15 in any width.
Tires that work better on some cars rather than other is an issue that isn't new and it isn't going away. In fact a few years ago it went the other direction for a while, the STC Civics all got beaten at nationals by a 240SX which could fit a better tire that the Civics could not.Quote:
