[TPR] wheels

I didn't mean to touch a nerve here, I think we're all for gaining a  
competitive advantage, and I think we'd all agree if it's in the rule  
book we'll stick to it but if it isn't can you really fail me for it?

The trouble we have in this instance, is there are some things Pantera  
owners have found out aren't in the rule book at SSCC but will fail  
you anyway.  One such item is that the rule book indicates the minimum  
speed rating for the tires on your Pantera must be H rated.  But we  
have several people who can tell you first hand, they were failed at  
tech because they showed up with "Rule Book legal" tires.  Tech wants  
to see V or higher.

So when it comes to the spacers, we just want to be sure.

If I've taken this too far, my apologies.  Let's get back to racing.
