I know the flack will be forthcoming, but I'm willing to risk it...DZ suggesting a Spec FF Tire, WHAT??? Yes, it's true, you read it here first.
Given all the current discussion and obvious enthusiasm on other threads here on Apex, all the discussion of the last several years both pro and con on the subject, the apparent happiness of the Canadians and the Arizona FF guys, plus the blown budgets of Runoffs-mania this year and the (probably) resultant sparse fields of next year, I'm caving in and finally agreeing that the idea's time has come...
So here's the suggestion: We start the 2015 Western Conference Majors season at Fontana mid-January, with a VOLUNTARY choice to run the Toyo R888 tires. And if the idea has traction (no pun intended...), hopefully we finish the season on that tire. There's no way in the world we could get consensus let alone action from SCCA National in time for this first race, nor probably any time in 2015 for that matter, hence the VOLUNTARY status. If we're all on them, we have a blast and save a ton of money. If someone chooses to show up on Hoosiers or Avons and wins the races, we simply never speak to them again...:ha: To take it a logical step or two further, we adopt the same "rule" for the Pacific F1600 Series, especially since many of its races will be combined with the Western Conference Majors, and logically the San Francisco Region and/or Cal Club Regional races could be the same.
What do you think? Feedback, please, either publicly or by p.m.
Thanks & Happy Holidays to all,
DZ
