Ahhh Rim Size.... Make em all run 15's -

But seriously, I think you're getting back in the problem zone to start defining 'cheap' vs 'expensive' rubber.

I run 15's, my choice, I could change and possibly gain some, but I choose not to for the look of the car. I think that type of thinking would go for many owners.

Some run 17's and other sizes, and many run very slick street 'R' class compounds. That's life.....

I think I have an idea for a source of tyre brands that are 'acceptable' that comes from an FIA sanctioned event that includes classics. Let me dig it up and send to you Jason by email.

Jason, how about just using the same tyre specification cut-off that the Nationals use. I expect NSW club can give you a list.

I will be passing this by Tony in the morning before making it official.
Classification by car specification will not be happening at Shelby 08.

I think we have something for everyone.

Fastest overall, Most regular, DYO time, and thanks to Phil fastest grouped by lap times.
(The group times were set using past years results)

Event One: 3km Super Sprints
Timed runs over 3km, with the winner recording the lowest time.
Event Two: Regularity trailTimed runs over 3km, with the winner recording the lowest time difference between their fastest lap and the average of their fastest 15 laps for the day. (No lap timers allowed)
Event Three: DYO (Dial in Your Own time)There will be timed runs over 3km, with the winner recording a lap time closest to their pre selected lap time with out breaking that time. (No lap timers allowed)
Event Four: Bracket Sprints
There will be timed runs over 3km, with the winner recording the fastest lap time within their nominated group without breaking the minimum lap time for the group.
A: 1:35.000 -1:44.999
B 1:45.000 -1:54.999
C 1:55.000 -2:14.999
