Lower budget racing

[hotrod 80]

I have been looking at options for entry level racing and i think the "factory rubber shootouts " or "Headsup hard tire" classes are a thing of the future . These give the lower HP/ street car guys a shot at having fun . Something along these line for rules . Maybe add a treadwear # minimum of say 400 that must be stamped on the tire . Looking for opinions here not criticism .
Rules:
1. No slicks or Drag Radial/DOT type tires 400 treadwear and above
2. No tubs or mini-tubs
3. No AWD vehicles
4. .5 tenths full tree
5. No progressive controllers or traction control

This class will not be qualified, and all pairings wil be random. Times must be shown during eliminations, but you can run N/T during your time trials. Any motor/power adder/weight combination is allowed.

The payout will be $200 to the winner, $100 to the runner-up. If more than 16 entries, semis will get $50. Entry will be $20 Car & Driver. You do not have to pay regular gate admission if you enter the Shootout. First round will begin at 9pm and rounds will be run approximately every 30 minutes.

Run on instant green just like the street light and maybe a $50 bonus to the first car to run faster than a 7.50 in eliminations.
