[DeTomaso] What a great car!

[Art Stephens]

Dawg,
     It appears that you are not entirely correct.  :-))  The Touring 
division only requires "U" rated tires (124 mph).  The grand touring 
division only requires "V" rated tires,  which allow a tech speed of 140 
mph.  Beginning with the grand sport division,  "tires should not be more 
than two years old".  I don't see an age restriction for tires in the 
touring and grand touring divisions?
