Ill have to disagree with trying to allow as many cars as possible. Seems to me the rules aren't specific so you can keep out the cars you don't want to let in. My brother in law drove 4 hours to come participate in this race and was told the tires on his factory width wheels were too narrow. They were Volkswagon tires but not on a skinny wheel. They were on 5" wide wheels which is what VW's came with also. The rules just said no skinnys which I think most people would agree are 3.5" wheels not 5" wheels. I would rather know what tire sizes are and aren't allowed instead of showing up and being told I cant run because you think they might be a little bigger or smaller than what came on the car. His truck only had a 265/15" rear tire which was more narrow than most and had a 500 treadwear rating to boot. Truck is fully street legal and driven regularly and has a current tag and insurance. I didn't see anyone else being checked for current paperwork either, just him. I think the rules are left fairly vague so you can keep people out who you don't want racing. We both know the front tire size would have made no difference in the outcome of the race last night. You were looking for a reason to keep him out. Is he gonna be welcomed back with some factory sized tires at the next race? I think the race is a good idea don't get me wrong, It just doesn't seem like your trying to include as many cars as possible like you stated above in your post. I will be sure to have the correct tires for the next race on my car as well.
