Subject: How Should I Get Rid Of Old Wheels and Tires?
Date: 5 Jan 93 17:35:04 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: AT&T

While cleaning my basement, I came across some stuff from a car I no
longer have.  I have 3 original wheels from a 1985 VW GTI and 4 tires
(worn, and not safely usable).  I'd like to get rid of all of it.  The
tires are probably worthless, but I don't really want to *pay* to get
rid of them.  I think tires are recyclable now, but places like
Goodyear want actual money to take them.  Other than my high moral and
ethical standards, and my respect for our planet, what's my incentive
to *pay* to recycle them when I could just dump them somewhere?

The wheels may have some value, but I only have three. (The fourth got
banged up, and I replaced the whole set with new ones, leaving me with
three good ones.)  I'd like to get something for them if possible, but
I don't know if this is reasonable to expect.  Back in '87, when *I*
needed a replacement wheel, the dealer wanted about $300 for *one* and
I couldn't find one in any junkyards or bodyshops.  If no one wants to
buy them (or even take them for free), how should I dispose of them?

I am not familiar with indycar rules as far as the technical stuff is
concerned.  would it be possible for honda to sink in infinite amounts
of cash and develop an engine that is more powerful than everybody
else?  or how about one which has lower fuel consumption, thereby
reducing the number of refueling stops and/or carrying a lighter fuel
load?  memories of 1988 are still fresh in my head.

"This story comes from Joel LaFollette, who works
with Dane Pitarresi's race school at Portland

Rabbit (remember that, it's important)."

"Seems last spring he found a baby bunny left out
in the open after the track was mowed.  The crows
were picking on it so he got a cage, took it home
and his wife raised it.  When it was grown, Joel's
mechanic, Darrell Grant, let it go out at the
track.  The cage was left in the corner of the shop."

"Grant was cleaning up the work shop at the end of
the summer when auto journalist Satch Carlson dropped
by."

"Know anybody who wants a rabbit cage?" Grant asked
Carlson.

"Sure, let me make some phone calls," said Carlson,
who found a buyer in Alaska for $200."

"Carlson and Grant split the money and Carlson left
for an off-road race in the Dominican Republic."

"So he missed the phone call from an enraged Alaskan,
wanting to know what the joke was."

"He thought he'd bought a roll cage for his Volkswagen
Rabbit race car..."

 OK, my line...   
   I've been racing endurokarts since 1988. I have an Elite enduro 
 chassis that's powered by a kt100s Yamaha engine that puts out
 approx. 25 hp @ 14,000 rpm. The engine drives the rear wheels
 through a sophisticated wet-disc centrifugal clutch. The kart has
 4-wheel disk brakes and special slick kart racing tires. The 
 chassis has a fiberglass body to help reduce aerodynamic drag.
 the entire machine-with driver weighs 340 pounds making the 
 hp/pound ratio equal to a ford mustang GT. top speed is 100
 mph...maybe 105.
   I race with a kart club in New England called the NHKA and our
 series hold it's events at the New Hampshire Intl. Speedway.
   I had 4 wins in 93, a couple seconds, a couple bad races, and 
 a nasty crash   :-(
   I have 5 regional championships in different classes from
   1989 to present.
   I plan to race a 135cc engine in 1993 in New england and do
 a national or two somewhere in the northeast.
  
   For those of you who have requested information about kart racing
 I'll try to post an info-article soon.

According to Autoweek, Michael Andretti suffered a shunt at Magny
Cours in a recent F1 test.  Apparently, McLaren had been fiddling
with the steering, and when he returned to the track he got up on
a curb and couldn't bring it back from the brink.  He sheared the
suspension off and damaged the tub.  He was alright.  He posted
the ninth fastest time of the four-day test.  The Williams cars
were the fastest (surprise, surprise).

I know there's a lot of adulation for Our Nige and his
extraordinary skills, but Firebird is test facility
for Indy cars, they don't actually race there, therefore
the validity of a "lap record" is somewhat vague. Let's

Unocal had been talking about pulling out as the "official" (read spec)
fuel for NASCAR and Sunoco might've filled their place, but unless
something's changed recently Unocal will be in their usual role in '93.
I've a hunch that Phillips 66 pulled their sponsorship from Yarborough
due to the rotten performance of that team, but I don't believe P66 has
signed on with anyone else yet.

Some oil companies business-wise haven't been fairing too well lately
so the bean-counters have been cutting back in many areas.  Slowly the
traditional automotive-product sponsors are being replaced by a lot
more 'consumer' type products, notably fast-food places.  Did I read
somewhere that Hardee's is coming back as a sponser - mebbe in BGN?

IndyCar (the sanctioning body) recently agreed to restrictions on the
materials used in the motors -- e.g. titanium may only be used in the
valve train -- and is requiring new engine suppliers to provide enough
engines for any teams that want them, so I don't see your concerns as
problems.  Lower fuel consumption would be nice, but the motors
already in the series are running pretty lean as is.
