I despise race tires being permitted in stock. You add up all the other mods allowed in GS and they're still not enough to overcome specialty tires. THAT IS WRONG! So I'll race in GS with a Borla, B&M, and street tires till the cows come home and not feel one ounce of shame thank you very much.



OK, your Borla is legal, your street tires are legal, but your short shifter isn't. In your car club, feel free as long as your competitors don't care. I don't like cheating, so I state my equipment upgrades right up front. If cheating the rules doesn't shame you, then go right ahead. What's wrong with the SCCA is that participants don't adhere to the gentlemen's agreement to self-police and put their car in the proper class.

It's not like the PAX from GS to STS is all that different, now is it? (0.781 to 0.791) And since you're not allowed to run Hoosiers or V700s in STS, that evens everything else out. You're actually doing yourself a <i>disservice</i> by not using sticky tires in GS. No wonder that nobody protests you.

Whirling dervish of FFOG.
