Section: Part 2 – Unprepared and Street Prepared Cars

Proposal:

Addition of the following classes:
Unprepared - No Cage
Unprepared - Roll bar & harness
Street Prepared - No Cage
Street Prepared - Roll bar & harness

All current rules in Part 2 apply to the new classes with the
exception: tires must have a minimum treadwear rating of 140 (i.e. no
DOT-R compound tires).

The current break-out times would be split into two different breakout
times, one for 'no cage' and one for 'roll bar & harness' equipped
cars.

Thoughts:

The addition of these classes will provide a reason for running
hillclimb events for those with no cage and potentially increase the
attendance level at events. Currently cars limited to the break-out
time are in the same class with caged cars that have no break-out
time. There is no competitive reason for attending events.

For cars that must adhere to the break-out time, it makes no sense to
use DOT-R compound tires. Mandating a minimum treadware rating will
ensure that drivers will have the audible feedback street tires
provide when they are pushed near their limits for safety reasons.

The use of two break-out times will allow the events to provide
competition for a wider audience while still maintaining a level of
safety. The break out times should be slightly slower or equivalent to
the current break-out times for 'no cage' cars and slightly faster for
cars equipped with safety equipment in the 'roll bar & harness'
classes.

Additionally, I believe a minimum experience level should be adopted
in the form of Autoslalom, Timeattack, Track school, Rally,Hillclimb,
etc. to ensure a certain level of car control experience is posessed
by entrants. By nature, hill climbs offer very little room for error
and I don't believe are appropriate for a first motorsport experience.
