    Default maybe a better tire idea to end the debate

    I came up with an idea on my way home today. I'm not sure if it has ever been brought up before. With all the debate with tires lately what if a sub division was made FVF (formula Vee Falken) both groups could run together possibly inceasing our number by giving driver a option to get back to the track.over time we can see which group grows in numbers. and which shrinks. end the debate if the performance or economics is more important.

    This would be a great idea but just getting the Falken tire package approved as an alternate tire package is the first step. Many people are more interested in cost savings with closer competition than getting a trophy. The next step is a more formalized format as described. The main thing is to be as inclusive as possible. Much better to say "welcome" than "buy tires or go away".

    Jeff, while my schedule rarely permits it, I was hoping to go to the local winter meeting, I think it's usually in Mass, and make that very proposition. On a regional basis, of course. Otherwise, I figure I'll likely run FS next year... (with a Falken shod FV)
