SCCA was wise to outlaw wood rimmed wheels. They came to that discussion after a race at the old Thompson. I was at that race when a car ( I think it was a Sunbeam Alpine ) had a low speed crash. The driver straight armed the steering wheel, breaking it, and a sharp piece of wood penetrated his head. An aluminum sandwich rim would not prevent this from happening. Save those beautiful wood wheels for the concourse. Eric |
