Message	Guy, really back down to talking now. Because clearly there's a misunderstanding here. What is it that I have left open for you. Not everyone use's a 18", true. I can't go out and ask everyone in the world over the last decade on why they run what they do. But if you look at track cars in general, you see a trend. I could have been like many and just overlooked this whole post. But I was curious on your answer. That is all, sorry for any other hard feelings.
