I thought it was clear I was making a joke about ignorance. I don't 
understand your need to be insulting. Now I'm not sure why I bothered 
to let you know what I learned about Hoosier's and BFG's 18" tires.

Not that it matters, but you'll find Saleens on page 143 of the 1999 
SCCA Solo I/II rules (or whatever page it is on any other year's 
edition of the SCCA Solo II rules). The S281 and S351 Saleens are in 
SuperStock alongside the modern Vettes and other go fast cars. The 
SR351 and SR (not mentioned in my previous message) would be in 
ESP. Or perhaps you were thinking of the 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra 
R which is not legal in any stock category.
