Please let me explain,
Truck (10.5) is an AARCMCC championship class, so it is not a demo class.
There is not change to a control tyre for truck for this event.
The AARCMCC rule state that the club holding the state championship must guarantee ample supplies of any of the nominated control tyres, as the brand we are using in all the other classes (AKA) doesn't yet make a truck tyre (they do have some in the works), we would have to have gone with another brand for that one class and therefore another importer. As such, we couldn't guarantee supply as we were told that another importer may want all the classes of control tyres not just on class.
We also didn't want to force drivers onto a tyre that was wrong for the track surface. eg; high wear.
This isn't the first AARCMCC championship to go this way as last years Tassie state titles also ran an open tyre for truck and we got AARCMCC approval to do the same at this state championship.
I hope this clears up this matter.
