Malcolm, I read the article.  Are we to understand that what they call
"urethane" amounts to ordinary race tire rubber, or is this something
else?  Considering the centrifugal forces at very high speed, how are
they going to attach the urethane so that it doesn't decide to become
'unclad'?

I'm not clear if anybody has actually driven this vehicle at high speed
as yet.  If not, the impression remains that it is merely a very
expensive, very well-crafted toy to project an image.  Bill Hoddinott
