New class for the Nationals

I think this is a great idea. A lot of the arguments I hear around classing at the various events revolves around tyres. They have one of the biggest impacts on lap times. There is usually a lot of grumbling around R spec tyres and what is a street tyre and what's a race tyre. Taking away that factor and leveling up the playing field sounds like a good idea. We have enough disparity in other areas with motor choice, chassis design, driving skill and testicle size.

The KU36 is also a good all rounder tyre for those that don't want the extra expense of swapping race tyrs and road tyres. It may also give us some leverage with the local supplier to get some tyres at a decent price without having to resort to importing them privately.

Well good luck with that fellas !! All Kumho comp tyres have different distributors in each state ( Well thats my understanding ) Kumho wants to keep its comp stuff out of their std catalogue items.
That being said Kumho sales over the last 2-3 months are down +/- 50% at the wholesale level at the moment so there could well be some leverage to be had.
This info is just for a general heads up for everyone-nothing more,nothing less, so don't take me to task on it please
