Glen Barrett passed this along to me -- and now I do to all of you. It's from Bill Lattin, SCTA president (as you might see at the very bottom of the post):
All,
On page 8 of the El Mirage Procedures is the following:
Existing wording:
Wheels:
The use of non-pneumatic wheel/tire combinations (i.e.; aluminum wheels) is
prohibited due to previously demonstrated lakebed surface damage.
Proposed wording:
Wheels:
The use of non-pneumatic shells/tire combinations (i.e.; aluminum, composite, etc wheels)
requires a variance and review by the Technical Committee and Board approval before use.
These wheels must demonstrate through a review process that they do not adversely affect
the race surface. Vehicle structure must be inspected after three runs. Future use of these
wheels may be disallowed at any time if they are deemed detrimental to the racing surface.
Have a good day,
Bill Lattin
SCTA President
