The Old style wheel will win regardless of the height. I have enough to go for several more years so availability is not an issue. Regardless of the wheel rule, the same racers will still win. The best always come out on top.

The REAL issue is seasoned racers building cars and prepping cars for the AM division. If you are going to do that then race the PRO division. I also think once you race PRO then you are done in AM. You PRO guys that are doing cars for the new racers need to realize that you are only SHORTENING their racing career. Unless your intentions are to shrink league racing, hands off. Let the new guys earn their stripes. They will be much better for it in the long run.

I finally hit on prep last month. It takes alot of trial and error. Hopefully I can repeat the process and not lose the speed I have found. I plan to send at least two BASX cars each month. One with old wheels and one with new style wheels so I can hone in on both styles. I guarantee no one else besides me prepped any of my cars.

I am not naming names or calling anyone out. The ones doing it know and it is not a mystery.

Just wanted to be upfront and honest. Sorry if it sounded that way.
