As I understand the issue, there were a couple of things that 
contributed to their demise. We had several crash in 1959. The reasoning 
went something like this. 1. they are a wing and tend to fly at speed. 
2. the position of the driver was such that the car was out of shape 
before the driver realized it. These were stock wheel base cars I believe.
