[SportsandRec] Diecast Collecting and Racing

[Wade Hemmelrick]

Seeing is not always believing. Some tires have a rubbery appearance.
These are actually plastic with the feel of a beach ball that is
non-stick. These will race better than typically sticky Real Rider
rubber wheels. If we find these diecast vehicles as stocks (no
modifications such as wheel swaps), perhaps these wheelies might
qualify (at our local Orange Track Racing organization) as Outlaw
Class entries if metal on metal or other classes when more plastic is
involved. If the tires are nonstick, they will roll farther from the
collector case than sticky Real Rider wheels.
