Another phrasing for the suggestion about SCCA CF

I think the suggestion is that CF should a specific class of cars that--
1) compete with one another (for points/trophies) in any and all SCCA race weekends;
2) might be in the same run-group with FF-class cars, or have their own specific run-group (as appropriate to the numbers of entries for each class at each event);
3) would accumulate CF-class points to qualify for the Run Offs, and;
4) would compete against one another for CF-class National Champion at the Run Offs.
Presumably, a CF-class eligible entrant/driver could declare they are running in FF (as long as they comply with FF-specific rules, like a FF-spec tire that is different from a CF-spec tire).
Hoosier VFF as Tire for FF

If something isn't done there wont be a FF national class.
There is nothing to lose, if no one enters FF is done, if Club Fords enter, FF can continue with small fields followed by larger fields of CF's.
Some CF entrants may even choose to step up to FF in future years.
Why not just make the Hoosier VFF the spec tire for FF? I'll bet that there will at least 8 CF show up, which would equal the number of FF that showed up at the 2023 Runoffs.
I'm ducking for cover.
