I put a link for your post up on DIRally, since 16" rally tires are so often difficult to come by in N.A.
Unfortunately my career change back to geology/environmental science has been ill-timed...

Just threw the snows on the car for the first time (we've been light on the white stuff in STPR country); managed to find some deep enough snow pockets to partly fill the fog light pods. Bodes well...
Now if we could just get some of the eastern seaboard snow to head to Michigan...

Supps were released today and the 2015 RA Performance Rally Rulebook is in play (download 2015 RA P.R.R.)
All the section 6 tire issues appear to be the same, but I am not a competitor...
Wow, the Z is beautiful!!! My car never looked that good, but then again, I was going to college and scraping up the funds for a restore to your car's level was not a possibility. Too bad I still...

Just got the word from our event chair that the regs are forthcoming, target the 2014 RA tire regs as your focus.
BTW, when looking up your name via profile, I couldn't help but...
The original scrutineering was done to Section 6 of the 2010 Performance Rally Rules, which are no longer in the RA archives -- I'll be notifying appropriate committee members, by the way...

FWIW, I fixed the article link, which used to work, but appears to have been "hijacked/manipulated" to try to direct folks to an online business.
Scanning folk's responses pops out a few...
Reading the article that is linked below causes me to ask how connected young people are to cars and motorsports. I am not shilling for KB! I love a variety of motorsports, and wish "good health"...
I don't race, so I don't know the specifics (pinouts, specs, etc.) of the intercom systems, but I am sure that I have seen some threads from the past addressing volume, quality and sensitivity...
Given that my son does video production (a bit of rally included), two or three issues come to mind:
