Bob, Thankfully, the C5 has been moved to ASP effective at the beginning of this year. So unless you guys are following last year's rulebook, you were robbed of a win. I think the BSP C4's are great competition, but I do not want to mess with C5's. My local region hasn't had any well-driven C5's yet and I'm sure that will change eventually; but I'm happy that they won't be classed in BSP with me.

Yeah, they tend to like to check things out up the hill to the Corkscrew. And I believe they're squirrels <shrug>. >I still feel bad for our little friend between turns 5 and 6. ;) Folks had a bit of fun with the incident. There was a little memorial just off-track in the morning near where the splatting took place. And the car sported a squirrel decal on the front fender - only 4 more for an "ace" :-) >Back up through the front "straight" is cool, but I sure as hell don't >have the juevos to stay full throttle after turn one. Hmmm, I didn't realize one needs eggs to stay on the throttle there. Always thought it was another somewhat spherical shaped object <bg>. Jim Bassett

I did this swap quite a while ago and love it. The wheel is smaller, more dished, and provides a better grip. I wanted a Momo or similar for the same reasons, but wnated the added safety of the airbag, so I think this is the best choice. I see 3-spoke M wheels for sale all the time, you just have to dig around. Buying one from the stealer isn't all that bad, and you could probably sell your wheel with airbag for quite a few bucks on eBay. -p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using HiSpeed Technologies Webmail. http://www.hispeed.com

Z3 share the same 3-spoke wheel, can someone else comment on the airbag similarity? KLBurgess
