Looking over some of the previous year’s results from Shelby and the Nats. I must agree tyres seem to play a bigger part in the laptimes than any other factor.

I wonder if someone could come up with a table of tyre types/specifications.
We need to be able to draw a solid line between street and street/track.

We would need to take in to account not only the size and specs but price as well. For example Yok A008 and P-Zeros were street tyres but cost 5 times more than the rags I run and have a huge advantage on the track.

We also need to make it quick and easy for the scrutineers to classify the cars by this method by having a full list of tyres from all manufacturers.

I'm feeling quit confident that a few of the ideas listed in this thread will make there way in to this year event. Keep ’em coming.
