Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, things have been real busy with the car trying to get ready for Richmond in a week and a half and I haven't even seen a computer in 3 days xcept for work. I should reply by this weekend at the absolute latest to everyone's posts if not before. Sorry again for the delay, but the car is making good progress!

BTW Lupe, my email changed recently , so I just got your message about the forums. My new email is Dan@Jigsawrx7.com. I'm just briefly scanning the forum right now in response to your email before I hit the sack (12:30AM). Gotta work in the morning. Talk to ya soon.

The reason the weld Pro Star 96 series wheels are so much harder to make fit other than other racing wheels is because of the "lug-centric" design of the 96 series wheel. Most wheels are solid where the lugs mount, or "hub-centric". The 96 series wheel has a floating weight inside of the wheel that makes the wheel extremely hard to balanc and remount time after time. The other complications to mount the wheel are probably the same as other racing weld wheels, ie.. backspacing, grinding of caliper and bolt, ect...

ESPN?! Last year only the pro classes were televised on ESPN. They told us that the final round in Sprotsman classes would be televised, but that wasn't the case. Are they doing that this year? Anxious to hear about it. Problems with clutch existed, and right lane at that track was horrible. Working out problems with the car as we speak.

Yeah, they only showed your last race against Julie. Did you ever get that email and pictures I sent you? My work email has been filtering out certain content so I wasn't sure if you had got it or not.
