Ralph,
Before you get too much futher into this please review the specs below. This
is just a clip out of the whole Supplemental Regulation. I will send you this
separately.

As you can see, the Spridget is only allowed 5" wheels. We (SVRA) enforce
this as does VDCA. HSR and SCCA have the same standard but may or may not
actually enforce it.
