Monocoque Challenge Star Wheel

John Dinkel · 03-24-2009, 09:18 PM

While getting ready for the 2009 racing year I found one of my front wheels broken on the inside.
If anyone has these wheels I would suggest that you check them.

Thanks John,
Although we don't run those wheels, the transfer of information like this can possibly help someone from having a really bad day.

See you at the races,
Wayne Kerr

I heard a clicking sound coasting back from a run and went back to the pits to see what the mysterious noise was. It was the inside of the rim cracked 3/4 of the way around the rim. These were an older set and the back side was flatter than the newer set I had, but I was very lucky. This is on a 66 Nova SBC combo so it isn't a very nose heavy car or one that the front wheels can even turn much and side load. If you run these rims, check them out!

I have broken 2 front Monocoque wheels and I Bogart rear wheel. I use Holeshot Wheels now. They are light, look good, and come in a ***** load of sizes. They are on this website www.wheels-up-racing.com

It may have been Bill Rink, or a similar car, but it had the center of a rear wheel break out after a run just around the corner from the ticket booth at Norwalk somewhere between 5-10 years ago.
