also all honda challenge cars run on Toyo RA1 which would be a Modified Class tire. i don't think many of them are going to go out an lay out $700 for some Hoosier R6's or other <50 treadwear tires for a single event, just in order to be more competitive in Unlimited class.
i think the tire rule is the main limitation for Redline time attack. what about a little old CSP Crx, original D16A6 engine, with 130hp, and some Hoosier A6/R6, kumho V710 .
the car would automatically be in Unlimited because of the tires.
why not have a rule where you can run a stickier tire in Modified class, as long as (no forced induction, no Engine swap).
that way some of the lower HP cars can be competive with the Engine swap and Forced Induction cars which would have to run >50 treadwear tires.
Because that would take away what the time attack is all about.( diversity) Once u start introducing all these limitations... It turns people away. Horsepower doesnt mean much anyways. I had no problem passing a twin turbo Z and an RB26det 240sx, as well as several s2000's and WRX's..... in my 133whp xA.
