I agree with Terry, but go a step further. I think 50 profile tires on a "vi=
ntage" race car is outrageous. We're I in charge, you'd all be on 70 profile=
 tires. Tall, skinny tires.  It would be exciting and far more like the way t=
hings were.=20

So too having a spec tire for our cars.  Everyone one the same tire levels t=
he field.  It would be great.  A downside is NO COMPETITION FROM SUPPLIERS. =
 We'd be a captured group of buyers.

But... That's none of that is going to happen.
