Erich: I think that you have hit the nail right on the head. We have 16"
wheels on our Tiger, so the ruling doesn't really affect us, but for those
who have a stock or personalized Tigers, 15" wheels and good rubber is a
must if you wish to compete. Whose idea was this anyway and what is the
reasoning behind it? Jerry and Marlene with the Candy Apple Tiger in
Cambria.----- Original Message -----
