Wheel width, ITB, again

[Greg Amy]

Actually, they can't... If the spec line says 15" that's the only diameter rim they can run...

that they should be happy they wasted that money and development time.

Matt, on Labor Day I'll buy you a beer and we can throw rocks at your 7" wide rims together. I don't think anyone will say one would or should be happy with the money they spent on 7" rims. If someone is looking to become as competitive as possible, I do think that sorrow lesses as they have been given a new lease on life even if it comes with a sacrifice. The rims people have in this size are not worthless. Sell them. Yes, still not perfect and I do feel bad that step is necessary. Just one more thing to worry about. Then again. That would never be a possiblity if the car remained in ITA.

Just curious. Did any of the Shelby owners write to the ITAC voicing that they'd want their cars to remain in ITA? Was there an effort to get other owners to do the same?

We did have some Shelby owners send letters to the Board voicing their opposition to the move.

IIRC, we had multiple letters, and I thought we had two letters from the same person opposing it. We had more for the move than against by a fair margin. It was on the books and in discussion for a loooong time. Like over a year, IIIRC.

what happened to the poll? Earlier it showed 115% as the "total", now the graphics are messed up... odd.

I agree the two year dual class is the best option for the cars being moved across lines of wheel change.

Dave: I! had no advanced warning of the change, it was a surprise to me!
