Firstly, if they allow the tyres in then everyone who is serious about the competition will need to buy a pair of these tyres as they are in another class when compared to the micky t street radials- its an expense that no one is going to willingly stomach.
Secondly, the MR2's have a great advantage over any other RWD car in the category due to the engine being sat on the back axle.We can make the best of the tyre restrictions as they are.
If they are opened up to use these hoosiers our advantage will be greatly reduced and then the supra's and big cars alike will come into their own.
Who gets the final say on this rule? Is it put to a vote or just considered by the organisers?

These Hoosier D.O.T.drag radial tires meet the Department of Transportation requirements for marking and performance only.
They feature a special compound to provide good traction, making them perfect for classes that require a street-legal style tire.
The D.O.T.
drag radials are not intended for street use, or for use on public roads
Hoosier D.O.T.drag radials are designed and approved for D.O.T.
class racing only.
They are not approved, nor recommended for any kind of street use.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way.So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Its a fine line in which tyres you can/should include, as alot of the cars last year were hardly road legal(which is what the cars are
supposed
to be), as im sure they will be this year.
Maybe they should limit the actualroad legal
class to actual
road legal tyres

ideally it would be a sticky at the top of each MR2 tech/mod forum so everyone has the best chance of seeing it, i'm sure its overlooked by many possible contenders.
