Damn little. The basic area of competetiveness (sp?) is going to be in the rubber compounding. The basic construction of the radial racing tire is pretty much fixed. In the days of the bias ply, they could do a lot more with construction than they can now. --- * OFFLINE 1.56 * I got these nude pictures of the moderat !@#$*$ NO CARRI . --- QScan/PCB v1.19b / 01-0530 * Origin: Collector's Edition * Dallas, TX * 214-351-6548 (1:124/2143) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 142 AUTO RACING Ref: D5Y00008 Date: 05/28/96 From: MAX LAKE Time: 07:13pm \/To: RIC JOHNSON (Read 7 times) Subj: So sad!

I expect he entered everything he had. If you don't enter them by deadline, you can't use them if you need them. The reason for few entries may very well be he has fewer cars.
