Does anybody have any information on the school(from Quebec I believe) that lost both front wheels during the acceleration competition? I saw it from across the lot, but would like to know how it happened. when trying to get back to our pit, i saw the wheel from ten feet as one of the judges was inspecting it, i did notice that the hiems were red. is it possible that they were using anodized aluminum hiems?
Also what is the condition of the woman who was involved with one of the bouncing tires. Seeing that accident really bothered me, that woman should have never been hurt. Why was the acceleration course directed at the bleachers, i saw many cars get out of shape trying to slow for the corner. This was really an acceleration/braking test due to the fact you had to stay within the cones. That was a huge lot, a few minor changes and the drivers could have had a much longer run-out area. Also, with the number of rod ends that fail during competition why aren't wheel tethers required, does anybody use them on their own?
Thanks,
Aaron
