Well, what's everyone thinking about running next season? It's only 5 months away! Time to start planning!

I'm thinking about running SM or NSM. Stepping all the way up to SM means having to throw money at race tires, and having to haul them to each event and change tires before and after racing. Considering the amount of tread I've got left on my Azenis Sports, I could probably get half a season out of 'em yet if I ran NSM instead!

For reference here are the '03 PAX values for popular classes (who knows how different next year's will be):

NDS: .770
DS: .795
STX: .798
NAS: .801
NSM: .807
AS: .828
SM: .834

According to these, I'm gonna have to pick up a lot of time to be competative in SM... meanwhile NSM isn't that much faster than STX was! Plus since Street Tire is a PAX class, we can all run against each other regardless of car or mods!

So, who's in with me for a season of Street Tire!!? Dean and Matt, you guys should run NSM and NAS!
