Yea, you will have run with Schumacher and Montoya!Hey Brian, I have got my reservations  and fly into Las Vegas Friday afternoon. Hopefully someone will come and pick me up, looking forward to seeing everyone and especially to watch you drive. It's your turn to show me a fast lap around this track. I will call you guys this weekend.

Sorry, I have no idea why I didn't see this earlier. You must mean in the general classing? Hell no. You can put the widest wheels you can fit under there w/o fender flares. If you flare the fenders, you may still stay in class, but you'd have to tell me how wide you're going. 12" wheels, and you're going up a class

Well, we'll see how it goes. Your stock size is small, like 7.5", right? A move up to 10.5" might move you up...no promises.

I might actually consider that...I am considering running in USTCC next year and would have to de-tune to be in class specs.....

Realistically, the rule should be flare the fenders = move up a class. A 3" increase in tire width is a major upgrade.

I think the new rule about wheel widths will be that you have to run wheels that would fit on a stock car, or you get moved up. Previously it had been that if you flared your fenders, you got moved up. I think that's a safe change to make.
