The loss of North America's most photgraphed TR4 gets my attention.

I was going to pull axles before next race for scheduled crack check anyway. 
But I have another question, in the meantime.

Since the sharp corners of the milled slot is the place that there is an 
apparent crack propagation...do you suppose there is a way of putting a 
slight radius in this area to reduce the stress rise? 

No stupid questions at this point, I'd say. Perhaps this one is borderline, 
but I dont care. I saw the in car video and heard Tony's words after the TR4 
stopped in the kitty litter...."well, this sucks"...as only Tony could say 
them.
