The centerlines were heavily machined. That and the fact that the track had a fatality the previous week probably accounted for his decision.
NHRA handbook said "any factory steel wheel, rivited or welded; any aftermarket wheel unmodified" Our lightened wheels failed during NOS testing an FX racer. The passenger side wheel pretzeled. Lucky the car didn't go more than 120 feet or I would have been in the rail or guard wall. It was a deteriorating feeling from the steering wheel like having a rear flat tire. It was all I could do to keep the car straight. That was no bloody fun.
