    TYRE WIDTH – IMHO –

    • Max Width limit to 10mm;  8mm preferred .. but    > >
    • Scrutineering Criteria = must not exceed the wheel well/skirt/lip (by 0.5mm)
      • v.s.  ‘Visible from Above’ which can be subjective and does not really fulfill the true objective of the Rule which is basically – don’t use F1 width tires and wheels sticking out of a sedan;
      • i.e. if it looks like a Drift car the tires are too-wide.
      • However, if a *Sliver* of black appears, DQing the tires is a little heavy-handed …

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
