This means that the numerous people running slicks only are not able to participate?

I'm fine either way- just want to plan accordingly.

Thanks

I think the idea is that tires don't matter... you can run any tire in any class.

Mike do I have that right?

maybe it needs to say- any Street 'Licenced' vehicles?

Roger that, I hear you loud and clear... we'll make that change.

Good catch (edit made)... of course the intent is to eliminate COPO style cars stripped down for nothing but drag racing.
Although we would love to see these cars run, Exhibition only of course.

Slicks and skinnies are permitted.

Can you put slicks on a street car for a day at the track? Sure. Can you open up th exhaust for a day at the track? Sure. But the car can quickly be put back to street legal condition.

A purpose built race car is not legal to drive on the street. You can't quickly change the tires and drive it legally on the street.
