Was told by event staff that you only need studded in the novice group.............. BUT if the novice group (5 max) all agrees to use regular snow tires, then they will make an exception. That's what was posted on the VCMC facebook group anyway.

SO if you have 4 other novices going and everyone agrees to run regular snows instead of studded... you don't need to get studded ones.

I stopped pursuing it at that point because it was getting to be too much money between buying wheels / studded tires / paying the race fee and accommodations... but that's where I left off with it anyway.

Edit: Am also assuming this organizer knew what he was talking about... which perhaps I shouldn't lol

I think 320icar attends these events he might know more!
