O.K....O.K....it is all my fault......back in the late 1980's I was the first one with SCTA/BNI to run one of those 5 inch wheels and Goodyear tire
(Kent is right they are aircraft tires) on the sidecar. It took some... to get Tech. to pass it at that time. (right Tom) After I got it passed by Tech. a couple of car people started using them.
They don't make these tires anymore and it is near impossible to find new fresh ones. So for this year BUB I replaced the 5 inch wheel with a 17 inch wheel and new tire on the sidecar side.
Now in regards to the "Luge" not being legal at
SCTA/BNI.......Willie, they have run at Bonneville
in events using SCTA/BNI rules and records and inspected by( I believe) SCTA/BNI people..........so they must be SCTA/BNI legal...........But Hell, what do I know...........................................................................

Bob,

It was inspected for the 150 club and as I am sure you know there are very few rules for that club compared to a car running on a 250mph record however it is more bike than car so it was passed again this year...

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.

Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

special construction motorcycle 15 in rim is minimum ---side car class 10 in the front is minimum 5 in on the sidecar is minimum --streamliner and sidecar streamliner no minimim and thats rim size --so a luge (or any motorcycle except maybe a streamliner ) with 3 or 4 in wheels wont pass tech at a scta event--and a luge is a long way from being a streamliner --- look guys this discussion is really pretty much a waste of time ----willie buchta
