Not the Victoracers, the Ecsta Supra 712s have a 280 wear rating and are great for the street or autocross. Look at prices in Tire Rack...a performance tire bargain. I have 205/55 on my car now and they are great so I can only imagine how a fatter size would be.

But do you want people feeling that they have to go out and spend money on a supercharger and water injection system (or insert other big dollar mod here) to be able to be competitive in the speed contests?

Perry, The Ultimate Contour Competition is something completly outside of the Spring Zing Cup. And that is something specifically for the people with the high dollar insane modifications.

Sure why not..
that would be the class where those of us who spend the year AutoX get to compete against each other. I know I and probably many others here are just dying to take each other on.
why not just run the SCCA classes and be done with it? Include the Novice class and you'll be fairly sure that we're all even and it's rules we understand.

I can live with having a Pro Class. One thing though. If there aren't enough people signed up for that class it disappears. So that would give you the choice of runnign in the regular SCCA classes or putting the street tires back on to run in the SZ Cup.
Sound fair enough?

I am fine with that. Sounds great, in fact.

Sounds good... I like the idea of Pro circuit... That way I won't have to go up against TheMark...  I don't autocross often enough, but I should...

I know that I don't qualify as a "pro" driver for SCCA, but I do drive enough events that compared to someone who's never done it.. or has maybe done it a couple of times. I should be much better than them. Looking forward to seeing you there..THEMARK

So does that mean the guys who normally run STS can go buy race rubber and compete against the stock guys in the "Pro" class?  See what I mean. You are opening up a can of worms.
