We have not established minimum speeds for records in open classes at Loring, and as most of our records are open, our recommendation is Safety,as usual.
At any venue it is prudent to fit the proper tire based mostly on speed potential, and the surface , as in traction/wear characteristics.
As the ECTA/LTA rulebook does read exactly as "Blackslax" says, we expect a few racers to quote that rule.
We'll also see some participants finding a convenient loophole in translating open record, or very low record to mean tires entirely inappropriate for the speeds attained.
We will adhere to the rules as stated, but please, err in favor of Safety in choosing your tires.
Simply, after you set a "easy" record, the "letter/speed" records will apply to faster runs. Save Tech and yourself another inspection by having the proper tires, First.
Bottom line, it's a long ride , and being a 135 car or not running at all because you scrimped on a minor investment, is going to ruin your weekend.
Yeah, I know some of you are confused, but reread it before you flame this thread.
