Been reading the rules page after talking with Rick at Carlisle about tires. Now I have two sets of tires, GY Billboards and GY slicks. Neither are DOT, so apparently I am not allowed in *either* Prepared or Street class.

If I want to run Street class, I need to buy treadwear 200 or better. Ok, all I see is rock hard 400 rated tires out there in the 26" dia x 15" sizes. Mickey Thompson S/R's look good, but have no published treadwear rating. So how does this get decided? I'm wanting to do like Rick says and not have issues when I show up.

If I run Prepared class, do I have to throw my GY slicks out and buy some "DOT" slicks?

Helmets: Does SA2000 or better infer the NOMEX content that Rick refers to? We had a discussion about this last year and I was allowed to use my SA2005 Bell helmet, but it was never clear that SA2000+ = NOMEX.

many thanks!
