Here's a thought on the dish wheel debate: why not require a scale appearing decal/sticker on the wheel???? The oval guys have been using these on late models and. other scales for several years - they truly do lend a scale appearance AND cost a LOT less than a new set of wheels/tires.

Too simple???

Too cheap????

sorry.....
I had a feeling this would come up.

We used to run them quite often in several classes, but on occasion, one would come loose and end up getting stuck on someone's tire, which would ruin their race. It didn't hurt anything, but you'd have to make a trip to pit lane to remove the sticker, and you were basically toast. So, adhesive wheel covers are not permitted because too many people were having the races ruined by other people running wheel stickers. I like Jeff's idea - use them for practice and let them lay down the rubber "groove" on the track.
