Well, while I will agree that rough, the truth of the matter is exactly what Jeff stated from a racing standpoint. This is a spec class. That is part of the reason a lot of us run it. That fact is accepted when we buy the car and join the sanctioning body. Its not a "spending wars class" while there are a few things that money can buy in the class, the idea of spec is to not have to spend the $2000 or whatever a season for the newest set of heads, or whatever. This class was not designed for people to have to buy 5 different sets of tires of different compounds of tires so we can have them on hand every night. If the racers had that kind of money laying around, Do you think we'd be racing a legend? While they are a blast, and are fun and difficult to drive, I bet a lot of people would drive a faster car if in the financial position to do so.
Regardless of specific likes or dislikes of the tire, the class will go on. And a ton of people will go out there and have fun racing... you know, the whole reason we bought our cars. Not to complain about it. Like it or change classes. Its a national sanctioning body people.
That said, I'm sorry to see Gimp off of the boards. I respected his opinions, and enjoyed reading the technical side of his posts. If you read this Gimpster, I hope everything turns out well for you sir and I hope there are many more years of racing in your future. Legends or not.
