here's a reply from Frank @ CRC he's posted in a UK fourm.
Hello Gentlemen,
I am currently gathering information regarding this wheel issue. I will reply here after I gather information.
Here is some factual information in the meantime:
1 - I do know that all the US manufactures were e-mailed by ROAR on 3/19/2008 regarding oversized wheels in 1:12th scale. Manufactures on this list were Parma, Jaco, CRC and BSR. We were alerted to check our wheels as some manufactuers were too large. Ours were re-checked and found to be within the rules.
2 - Hoeco Modellbau is the mainland European distributor for CRC. Robert Bachofner is not the distributor for CRC in Europe. Robert is not employed by CRC nor Hoeco.
3 - CRC had no part in the official protest. We had our chance to officially protest at the ROAR Nationals and chose not too.
I will gather some information and report with an offical statement from Calandra Racing Concepts.
Regards,
Frank Calandra
