that is the ultimate highside

Mr Lefty · 03-27-2011, 08:31 PM

actually that was a pretty tame highside....

I always wondered what would happen if a wheel just fell off. That actually is pretty much what I thought would happen.

well that looks like more bullshit than I would be willing to put up with considering how much a wheel like that must cost. I'm guessing that it is some kind of super exotic material like rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, or something like carbon fiber

dont think these guys are too concerned about cost. I am wondering why the wheel failed like that, was it an older wheel, had it been crashed previously or something else.

Thats either Power, or a Faulty wheel

Whitham said its most likely fatigue due to overuse as small teams like supersonic can't afford to change out their wheels on a regular basis

Thats not surprising. I wonder how long those oz and cf wheels last with multiple tire changes and all the abuse they go through.
