Hows that then with 620ie's and 675Cc kits, neither cheap or level when others are on 10 year old 600's, although it is a ONE make series it is not a one model series with twin discs on some bikes single disc on others, if the rider can choose his bike and brake set-up etc then he should be able to choose his tyre.
The rules allow changes to the bike, bits can be welded to the chassis, fairings fitted, suspension upgraded, differn't pipes etc so why not leave the tyre choice free to the rider as in road legal moulded treaded tyres.
Racing isn't all about a level playing field, years of the japanese factories crying foul when Ducati V-Twins had a weight and CC advantage. Now in Supersport the CBR seems to have the advantage, and the GSXR in national Superbike Championships.
I thought this series was to encourage members to give racing a go and for those that do and then want to move on to other classes then allowing them to make a few choices for themselves will be a good thing, it will allow them to develope setup skills that will be necessary on faster more powerful bikes.
