Im not denying you guys got a good deal going with kuhmo, but its not perfect, and you guys are still blowing the whole thing out of proportion and making yourselves sound like extremely spoiled bratty children. Thats really all I am saying. There is no gaurantee that you would have had kuhmo money next year anyway, they are paying out the equivalent of 2 national SCCA races for every local NASA event. Id be surprised if that would have continued, but i guess we will never know.
Fact of the matter is, the toyo deal is a good one and you can pay for all your tires that way. I cant ask for anything more in small pond nasa racing, and i sure as shit arent going to whine about it

The Toyo deal doesn't screw you guys over because

A. You are in a spec class and your tire size is abundant (for the most part).
B. The spec tire deal doesn't make it more difficult for SM people to crossover from SCCA. A lot of HC entrants are ITA, ITB, or ITC crossovers.
C. You didn't have a good contingency deal in the first place.
D. You haven't had to endure 3 years of NASA National dicking around with the rules and screwing something up that was already successful. A lot of the discontent has to do with the way rules have been dropped with little notice and no official member-driven input process. Sure, its their for-profit organization, they can make whatever rules they want but if you're gonna have a motorsports dictatorship you'd better make sure you get the rules right.
E. Spec Miata in NASA was never as big as ECHC was. If you guys lost 50% of your field you'd be upset too.

Look around, HC was pushing 25+ entrants in 02 and 03 and its slid ever since. H4 and H1 used to be the biggest classes and now you have 3 or 4 cars showing up for H4. It would be one thing if people were having financial trouble but the simple fact is a lot of people got tired of the B.S. and went to ITA.
