<VV> Driving Vairs on the tracks

[Charles Lee]

Back at Lime Rock a while back, I drove my Lakewood 4-speed with Kelsey 
Hayes wire wheels around the track a few times - that was a harrowing 
experience !!!!!

I had to tighten them back up when I got back - good thing I didn't go 
around again !!!!
