DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 11, 2008) – Scott Maxwell gave his hometown crowd at Mosport International Raceway something to cheer about in 2007 when he and co-driver Joe Foster took the No. 55 Hyper Sport Ford Mustang GT to the team’s only Grand-Am KONI Challenge Series Grand Sport victory of the season.
After finishing second in January’s Fresh From Florida 200 at Daytona, Maxwell and Foster came to Lime Rock trying to take the point lead away from Stanton . While running fourth, however, Foster was involved in contact with another Mustang, breaking the No. 55 car’s left front suspension. After a half hour of repairs, Maxwell returned to the track, but came away with a 28th-place finish.
They’ll all be chasing three drivers who are tied for the point lead. After winning the Fresh From Florida 200, Stanton finished fourth at Lime Rock. Thornton and Segal, meanwhile, picked up their first KONI Challenge victory and first for Automatic Racing at Lime Rock after taking fourth at Daytona. Stanton is paired with former Automatic Racing driver Jon Miller in the No. 83 BGB Motorsports Porsche 997, while Thornton and Segal share the No. 09 Automatic Racing Imported Car Store/Land Air BMW M3. The pair finished third last year at Mosport.
Super Wheels SS were designed based on requirements and feedback from 1/32 racers who actively participate in organized club and proxy race events. Super Wheels SS were then subjected to an extensive battery of tests to validate and refine the design. The result is a high-performance 1/32 aluminum wheel which offers the following features and benefits:
True hubless design provides exceptional flexibility when adjusting the rear track width. This is particularly important when rules specify the wheel/tire must be completely inside the fender and/or a maximum track width.Affordable alternative to other manufacturer’s hubless wheels which cost up to twice as much as Super Wheels SS.
Precision machined using state-of-the-art CNC machine tools which ensure Super Wheels SS are perfectly round and the axle bore is concentric with both the outer wheel surface and longitudinal axis of the axle.
Designed specifically for Super Tires ® and Yellow Dog Super Tires ®. Super Wheels SS were designed to compliment Super Tires and Yellow Dog Super Tires. Super Wheels SS have undergone extensive design and testing to ensure Super Tires contact patches are perfectly flat ensuring the best possible grip.
Attractive five hole design complements a wide variety of 1/32 slot cars makes and models.
Easy to locate set screw using small dimple machined on inside of wheel. This is especially helpful if the tire is glued to the wheel and you can’t easily peel the tire back to locate the set screw.
Flexible design accepts Slot.it 20x12mm tires (all compounds) and 17mm wheel inserts if desired.
Super Wheels SS weigh 2.9 grams per wheel.
