The street tire paxes were all just a guess this year by Rick and things should be more normal next year.

I think the issue with the 370Z is it's more course dependent than the other cars in the class. So when you get a "horsepower" course it has too much of an advantage over the MX-5, RX-8, and BRZ/FR-S. Like at nationals this year, Stuart was >.5s ahead of everyone on day 2 and besides Fenter and Rhoades (in another 370Z he had been driving for a couple weeks) he was >1s ahead of everyone. No surprise as the car has a ton more horsepower than the other cars.

At this point I see moving the 370Z to BS a done deal. I don't really care one way or the other myself, but I've heard too many folks here as well as other camps like the RX-8/MX-5 who would like to see it moved.
