In a related topic, what happens when you snap an axle u-joint at speed?
Wheel tuck under and launch?
I've been lucky that the two u-joints I've snapped in the autocrosser where
at launch so I was able to get it stopped without further drama.
Cheers,

Subject: [Fot] spitfire axles
Maybe some of the newer guys/gals don't know why it's so important to have a
competition axle setup on a Spitfire or GT6...The weak point is where the
keyway is in the hub..that's where the stock axle breaks...the competition
axles..or at least the ones i know about have the hub and axle welded
together..and they are larger diameter
BECAUSE..since there is no axle housing......when the axle breaks..the wheel
goes Bye Bye...
