Until I get around to obtaining a current rule book I will ask the list for comments on wheel arrangements in the Competition Coupe and Sedan Classes. Three questions follow gang. Some of the latest

Nothing has changed on that part of the rule book. Old requirements still apply. Tech inspectors will be the final say on such narrow or staggered arrangements. Better examples of staggered are Al Te

Hmmm, never thought of that idea for a Comp Coupe before. Now, since your stuck with some sort of rear body width anyway my question would be Why? Sort of like flying with your wing backwards, Eh. Jo

Rules look like one could possibly do this though liner is the only class that specifically allows wheels not in a rectangular configuration. But why would one want to? George's wheels are covered n

Well, for sure. Only one of us has actually raced on the salt. That only leaves bench racing. And I am not very good at that even. Maybe one day I can grow up and be a real racer like the rest of thi

Inline wheels could fit in a modified sports, but because of short w.b. it would be dopey. coupes and roadsters no deal, its now a streamliner.

howdy, well no, cause the rules state no production body panels can be used in Streamliner/lakester classes. John Robinson, Mechanician Mechanical Engineering University of Wisconsin 1513 University

How could they fit in modified sports? No mention of "wheels need not be arranged in a rectangular configuration". I agree that it would be dopey.... Skip (curious now)

I read it the same way Jack did, doesn't say you can't. Maybe inline front wheels is going overboard for modified sports but I thought getting the nose as little as possible was how you move the CP t

It's changing the area of the side view of the car that effects the CP. Inline fronts would probably not help that. Unless you put Jack's fronts on the car and then it would? Still don't think it's

Narrowing the front to move Cp to rear is not dopey at all. But MS cars don't usually have a CP problem do they? Most look like streamliners anyway (cept mine which actually looks like a car and with
