The SCCA Milwaukee Region Inaugural National Street Tire Challenge brought to you by: Bridgestone Motorsports
Saturday September 12, 2009
The Milwaukee Region will be running a special Sports Car Club of America santioned event open only to cars running street tires. The purpose is to provide a unique event where competition for top index honors is open exclusively to those running street tires, and show support to those people who arrive and drive on their street tires. The event will be held in Milwaukee, WI at Miller Park.
- Street Tires are defined as tires which have a minimum tread wear rating of 140. Classes Each car will receive a multiplier (PAX/RTP Index) based on their class in the current SCCA Solo Rulebook (excluding the Street Touring classes). Vehicles will be divided into one of the three competition classes offered at this event; FWD (front wheel drive), AWD (All wheel drive), or RWD (rear wheel driving). Final positions in class will be determined by multipling your top time of the day by your RTP/PAX index, fastest time winning. Examples of Car Classification: If you are running a stock 2007 Corvette Z06 (which is classed in SS) you would be running in the RWD class with a SS index multiplier.
If you are driving a 1993 Honda Civic prepped to Street Prepared rules and normally run in FSP you will be racing in FWD with a FSP index multiplier.
If you normally drive your modified Subura WRX STi in Street Touring Ultra, you will have to find the appropriate Street Prepared class which your car would run, in this case BSP since the Street Touring classes are not allowed to be used as multipliers, and you will race in AWD with a BSP index multiplier.
Eligible Participants The event is open to everyone running on Street Tires. As with all Milwaukee Region events, SCCA membership is required. A special weekend membership is available for onsite non-members. As a bonus, there is a regular Milwaukee Region event scheduled on Sunday the 13th.
Entry Fees:
$40 Online Pre-Registration (SCCA Members Only)

$55 Onsite Non-Members
Online Registration
(SCCA annual members ONLY)
All entrants will receive an event t-shirt to show off to all of your friends!
Logistics: The event will be run just like all Milwaukee Region events, meaning you can expect a great course design on one of the premier sites, smooth operations, and a fun day. The number of runs will be determined by the event attendance, but we strive for a total of 6 runs (3 morning and 3 afternoon).
Trophies We will award trophies as per the SCCA rule book, with special trophies to the top finishers in FWD, AWD, and RWD classes, and to the competitor who has the fastest RTP/PAX index time.
Food: As with all Milwaukee Region events in 2009, lunch will be available on-site for purchase from Cousins.
Frequently Asked Question:
What about "Street Touring" classes? Because the PAX index for these classes already reflects the use of street tires, ST, STX, STS, and STU cars will compete on their Street Prepared Index. For example, an ST 1989 Civic Si will compete on the C Street Prepared (CSP) index in the "F" class.
