Tuesday Tech Question

Question:

I recently purchased a Toyota Celica Pro Mod style car.  I plan to run the car in the Top Sportsman class along with some local bracket races.  I am looking to upgrade the wheels before I start racing the car.  My question is, am I required to run beadlocks when I run Top Sportsman?

Answer:

Beadlock Bill,

For the Top Sportsman class, any vehicle that runs 6.50 and quicker or 210 mph and quicker is required to have rear wheels that meet SFI Spec 15.1.  Additionally, these wheels must have beadlocks or liners.
