Wall Wednesdays  

Question: Look at the Ferrante Vega. Now, look at the other cars. See something different? The X3 wheel bolt pattern is a standard 5x5. All the other Mods are using wide 5’s. I’ve seen other guys with 5x5’s too. Why? This was a bit before my time in the pits. It was once explained to me that 5x5’s were run by guys who ran a decent number of extra distance events that required tire changes. Seems you could be quicker with the gun on a 5x5 than with a wide 5. Well, at least that’s what I was told. So, is this just some old timer pulling my leg or was he truthful?
