that car broke from the impact and not impact due to breakage. Hard to prepare for that. Is that Griggs equipment? they are pretty sturdy.
I agree Greg, everything needs to be stepped up several notches.
edit, sorry, missed the last page.

Racing is expensive (we really don't race but that's the best description) - it gets way more expensive quickly when your car comes off track on a rollback. I'd rather be a little proactive and fix it before it happens.
Here's the other thing... When your car works better (thank you Ron Sutton Race Technologies!) you go faster and harder... which puts even MORE stress on parts. The tire temps creep up - the brake temps creep up ----- and all that heat is put into the bearings and spindles... Why would a guy try to build an 800 hp motor - quadruple the tire sizes from stock - and not upgrade these other critical parts?
