NASCAR guys use them [DynaBeads] to keep from throwing lead off their wheels at 200 mph. They are at a constant speed (no stop & go) and probaly worked OK for that applacation
Jeez, are we really comparing Apple-to-Apples here?

Can you imagine 'Code III' in a Model-A??

I'd say your test came back pretty accurate with your cruisers. They probably did not work well in a fast acceleration setting. I would also think that fast acceleration is not a necessity with most Model-A owners either so maybe that won't be a detriment in our applications. In your defense, I DO realize what Bill asked but then again, ............
