According to the November Fastrack:
As I understand it we can run both the SM6 and SM7 in regional events this year correct?
ICSCC in SM tire rules:
SM : SM6 and H20 only
CSM: RA1 and RR only

1. Correct
2. I would like to see it in writing before I jump off the cliff. If correct then I personally see no reason to have an additional class in the run group. Let the argument begin!
I'm good with the national rule as written. No to CSM, there just isn't anybody running it in conference or SCCA anymore!
I have an opinion so I must be right

Interesting to note regions running the other classes such as SMT have over 70 entries between the two classes....we don't even have 70 SM's in the PNW.
Also looked up the ICSCC results, only 4 drivers in CSM ran more then 1 weekend, with the most weekends being ran at 3. IIRC, when CSM was introduced into SCCA a few years back, entries remained light outside of the GP.

We tried CSM before and got two entries. Mainly because they wanted a Rose Cup Trophy (can't say I blame them). I don't think the tires had anything to do with it.
Unless a few people come forward and commit to run multiple CSM or SMT races I just don't see the point of spending the time setting up all the stuff and getting the permissions for something that at this point looks like it has about zero chance of subscription. There have been two CSM cars in Conference and one of them does not race SCCA (though he is a great guy and class driver). I am more than willing to lend an old set of SM6's to the other.
At the summer NASA race Cindy entered SM after she broke her other car so she could qualify for Miller. I was the only other SM (see line 1 of this post, yes, I wanted the $3 trophy) and the second race I ran HOHO's and nobody seemed to care (and I received another $3 trophy and no flag).
I really want to be inclusive here but why set up alphabet classes if no one will enter them?
PS - Don't forget about the Miatacage tire rental program. Tires are available.
Hey Terrell, Won't splitting the classes have a detrimental affect on drivers trying for the run-offs? Not that I'm trying, I'm not. Just asking for those who are.
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Looking forward to the green flag dropping net year!

And Happy Thanksgiving to all also.
Because of the way points are set up next year having CSM would not affect points.
Unless someone pipes up quickly in opposition to just running SM I will drop the gavel early next week.
Yes. Now I am ready to go to Loynings and drop more money!
I have a few more. I'll see if I can upload in the next few weeks...
I have an opinion so I must be right
Do we have a spec snow/ice tire? What if this stuff stays around? Tried SM6's in the ice and they were a no-go......

Reminds me of buying my first donor about 12 years ago. The car had studded snow tires, so I made a point to do a burn out in front of Lori on the way home. Almost as many sparks as bedding Hawk Blues on a summer evening country drive
I have an opinion so I must be right
I have 2 sets of the SM-6's with 1 and 2 heat cycles that need a new home. Let me know if you're interested.
thanks,
