[Healeys] Streamliner

[healeyguy at aol.com]

Looks a little big for a roller blade wheel. When the Streamliner was
in Portland it didn't have a push bar mounted. As you may know that
because of the relatively numerically low gear sets used for high speed
runs most of the racers have a push vehicle get them moving. The old
flats photos show a lot of 2x lumber replacing the front bumpers of the
push vehicle. Having that roller on the push bar should help with track
irregularities and maneuvering the race car to the starting line.
Perhaps it is the norm now days but I'm not a salt flats or dry lake
racer....wish I could try in once.

In looking at the Streamliner article in the latest Healey Marque, it
would
appear the the rear push bar has a "Roller blade" type wheel on it. Is
that
really a roller blade wheel?
