Tuesday Tech Question

Question:

I am just finishing up my ’41 Willys Top Sportsman car.  I noticed that some cars in the class have beadlock wheels and others do not.  What kind of wheels do I need to purchase?

Beadlock Bill

Answer:

Beadlock Bill,

If you plan to run 6.50 or quicker or 210 mph or faster you will need to have SFI Spec 15.1 wheels.  These wheels must either be beadlocks or have liners.  For more information, please see General Regulations Section 5 in your 2013 NHRA Rulebook. 57311
