The FIA requires a minimum of 4 wheels for a "car." The FIM (motorcycle
federation) is happy to certify records made with 2 or 3 wheels. Craig's
1962-1964 "Spirit of America" was indeed a 3-wheeler. Craig didn't
care--he just wanted to be the fastest.
His current car, which ran in 1996 and 1997, is actually a 5-wheeler--the
front "wheel" is actually 3 very closely-spaced wheels.
