    The rear wheel is actually detached from the car, during repair for a broken axle. This shot from the same meet shows the details...wheel off, brake drum off: ward cheatham ward.jpg

    I was gonna say, that appears to be the ground seen in the center hole of the rear wheel so it may not be bolted on.
