In the beginning (well the late 80's & early 90's) there were the Slick 50 Road Saloons and the Toyo Tyres Super Road Saloons, the latter of which I raced in 1992 to 1996 and even made it to the TV screens as part of a Formula 2 raceday screened on Anglia TV's 'Wheels@ programme.
I can't remember the details of the reg's that set the two apart but the Road Saloons had to be driven to and from each meeting and I think ran on Uniroyal tyres, the Toyo lot were more modified and from 1991 were allowed to be trailered, both Championships were hugely supported, usually with two full grids for each Championship at each venue ie class A & B one race, class C& D another. Some rule tweeking in the mid-later 90's prohibited lots of cars that had been racing such as the Lotus Sunbeams etc and gradually things fizzled away, but yes the Road's are now the Lumenitions and the Toyos merged with Mod Prods.
