As organizers have proved this past season, we can accomodate another race added into the schedule and still get finished at a decent time of day.
With the proposed new stud rule change it would appear that the street studs would not be competitive running in the same race and may pose some safety concerns for the faster cars.
The street stud class would be a great entry level "stepping stone" for those that want to go a little faster and have more control. Traction would be equivelent to racing after studs. The tires themselves would be far cheaper than a set of Menards with no build time like the current 'Screw' tires.
I would like to put forward a motion at the next meeting to allow this new class to exist and to be run in a separate race, of course there would actually be three new classes in that race as FWD, RWD, and 4WD could be running on the same tires. Perhaps SS1, SS2 and SS3.
As Tom eluded to in the last meeting this race could be spread somewhere in the schedule to afford other classes more traction more often.
Reserch has already been done as to the availability of these tires and they have proved very afforable at around $100 per tire compared to almost $500 for the imported Manards after shipping.
What, if any, interest for this proposal would there be out there??
