I can break some $*#^
Last year this happens while racing at Mid America
Then this year at VIR, I thought I snapped what would have been my 3rd torque tube, but instead we found this.
Danny pointed out that I probably screwed the trans up during my 1000 mile drive home from Mid-America with the above posted tq tube, as it was flexing like crazy, and after it cracked I still ran 2 hot laps, with the shifter popping 8 inches up in the air everytime I gave it any throttle and all 1K miles home.
Anyway I listened to Danny this time and hopefully "Jeremy proofed" my car. Thanks again for all your help in getting the car up and running again Danny. It means the world to me.
Now, when is that next NASA event at VIR.....
