where do you find 16x6 wheels?

Petition, how/where do I do that?

"Petition" in the typical sense isn't the right word, in the sense that you don't have to collect signatures or anything like that. You can request a rule change by email to [email protected] and it will be forwarded to the IT advisory committee. We'll make a recommendation to the Board, which will act on the request.

One suggestion/disclaimer - You can request anything you want but the IT category doesn't really do make/model specific allowances (e.g., "please let the New Beetle use 6.5" wide wheels"). For this reason, a proposal framed for the category or maybe a class is more likely to be in line with past practice. And any proposal needs to be specific about what is being requested, rather than (for example) simply telling the Board what you think is wrong...

So if i asked that original wheel size superseed(sp.?) class requirements in the intrest of keeping with the original philosophy of Improved Touring, as in low cost cars with limited modifications, prepared to the manufacturer's specifications. Then show examples of how there is no 16x6 wheel and how the NB came stock with 16x6.5's. Then, I might get somewhere by the time the car is ready to race?

It can't hurt to ask. I can say with some confidence that what you describe here is better than "give me a break, please."
