Subject: I say leave it 10.5 leave out the W's. If it's an issue for them just borrow some 10.5's. It's being made a bigger deal than it should be. This started as a 10.5 race and should be left at that to not complicate things. As far as count well maybe working on the date maybe pushing it forward to give the w guys time to find some 10.5 loaners or get the racers to get some buddies in the mix or maybe some out of towners an extra week to get in town. Feedback is key guys post up your thoughts and opinions.

[> Subject: Borrow tires? Seriously? The race is going to be a True 10.5 race because that's what the racers wanted. The entry fee for the race is $100 per car plus your tech card. Who is in and who is out? People complain we are not racing. Well here is your chance. Speak up now!!'
