J D M Fest at La Caridura Racetrack ( FULL)
Justin Thyme is loading up. He will be on his way on Monday.
Just finishing up this car and went to read the 'rules' for the race to make sure I comply. I got scared when it said Black Wheels Only. Oh my! I didn't catch that when I chose this car. This car has Chrome/Silver Wheels with Black Tires.
Then I came here to confirm original posting and see that others are sending in cars for this race with the same as I have. Chrome/Silver Wheels with Black Tires. A sigh of relief that I am not the only one.
Best guess, the tab for 'wheels' must be uniformly accepted as wheels with tires and the color really means the tires. Wheels used as a generic term in a 1-piece part versus 2 separate components. Makes sense now, but scary when you read the rules and want to be following them correctly. <lol>
- The wheels generally refers to the entire thing. Rims are the chrome part. You know that some fantasy cars have orange wheels among other colors — ManiacMotorsports
- What is a Tire? A tire is the rubber component that contacts the road, providing grip, absorbing shocks, and ensuring safe handling. Tires come in various types: all-season, performance, winter, and off-road. For example, a Michelin Pilot Sport tire on a sports car improves cornering and braking, while an Ironman all-terrain tire on an SUV ensures traction on mud or gravel. Tires have specifications like width, aspect ratio, load index, and speed rating, which influence performance, safety, and cost. Regular inspection, rotation, and proper inflation are essential for longevity and optimal driving experience. What is a Rim? The rim is the metallic outer edge of the wheel that holds the tire in place. Rims are usually made of steel or alloy and come in various diameters, widths, and designs. Alloy rims, for example, offer lighter weight and improved aesthetics, while steel rims are durable and budget-friendly. The rim size must match the tire’s diameter and width to ensure proper fit, avoiding issues like air leakage, uneven wear, or tire blowouts. Upgrading rims can improve vehicle appearance, handling, and braking response, but incompatible rims can compromise safety. What is a Wheel? The wheel is the complete assembly, including the rim, hub, spokes, and sometimes the tire (when mounted). It connects the vehicle to the axle and transfers engine power to the ground. For instance, a performance wheel assembly on a sports car combines lightweight alloy rims with high-performance tires to enhance acceleration, cornering, and braking. Proper wheel selection ensures alignment, load support, and balance, affecting both safety and driving comfort. Understanding the distinction between wheels, rims, and tires prevents mistakes when replacing or upgrading components. — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
Hi guys ...Just an update on the event...right now I'm in the process of editing the first group and that video should be up by midweek if God permits , another thing is that in order to give drivers more screen time this first round will determine the actual brackets so there will be a winners bracket and the others bracket that will give more racetime and will eliminate that one appearance elimination syndrome. Yeah in a combination of life elements I'm running behind on this one , sorry for the delay but is getting done and again thanks for your support.
