I would add that Gravity is one of the few companies (only?) to consistently step up and deliver.

But the 8 spoke weren't the only wheel being used...
https://gotransam.com/news/On-this-D...-27-1967/70754
But most teams switched to 8 spoke wheels around 1969.
Additional information I found on the internet (so it must be true )
Old Race Car Wheels.
I found several references to the 8 spoke Minilite wheels being used in the Trans AM racing series as well as how not stock many of the real race cars were.
I guess we are both right!!

no thats not what I'm saying, I'm saying not you or anyone else is going to tell me what I can run. At 67 I have accepted that I have peaked a long time ago.
25.5 30 fixed timing
Is this the new VTA spec motor?
Also what is the best driver insert to use?
I do not care if VTA has a spec motor or not, I care that I spent over $400 on 25.5 motors to start a VTA class 10 months ago at my local track and could take the cars and race at any other track. Now to do that I have to spend another $340 and then I have 4 $400+ paper weights! USVTA should have said when Novak quit that there was going to be another spec motor ASAP, not said use ROAR legal motors.

I don't think its really a gimmick when every single one of those $25 motors is hand checked and tuned to be as equal as possible to the rest of them. Labor isn't free!
