I don't buy this. Banking reduces side loading on the wheels. 20+ year old cars race every week on flat and banked tracks, and even on off camber turns. DeLoreans may have wheel bearing problems, but they're not from or aggravated by the banking of the pavement. Maybe from overspeeding a poorly designed, machined, or fit bearing/race.
Seems to me if someone was going to the expense of renting a track for a demonstration, they'd make sure the chassis was up to snuff before risking a wreck. Or maybe they know little about cars... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Penne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 4:22 PM Subject: Tilley's Vehicle > http://www.greaterthings.com/News/Tilley/newstuff/index.html > > The Tilley vehicle hit Slashdot today at http://www.slashdot.org and > the above website was an update page from somebody at the track talking > on a cell phone to the guy updating the web page. > > They make it sound like the delorean couldn't handle the banked track > and lost some wheel bearings.
