Wow..that seems a bit, well, dangerous. I don't think a motorcycle wheel is at all designed for side load.

In theory, the only "turns" should be from the parking lot to the staging area, then another back to the parking lot.
Yeah, but "Theory" is a magical happy place where nothing ever goes wrong. I hope to move there someday.
Cycle wheels have ben used for years by the drag community. Another reason I prefer autocross.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, theory and practice are different.
