Funny, the high horsepower streamliners and roadsters leave grooves/deeper
tracks in the salt too and I have followed them for miles. Do these also
get banned? As hard as the salt is now, where are the ruts? In which mile?
Who, in addition to Speedway and Costella, are the cars running metal front
wheels?
Breedlove ran aluminum alloy discs with around a 3" flange riveted to the
outer edge of the disc with miles of carbon fiber wrapped around the
outside. The carbon fiber wrappings were installed at the Hercules (now
Hexcel) plant in the Salt Lake suburbs. I used to see the man who was the
go between rather frequently and a former neighbor also worked on that
little project. They used the same kind of wrapping technique as is used in
rocket boosters.
