JOHN: I certainly cant add a hell of a lot to what has been going on
relative to hub & axle breakage as everyone seems to be working on potential
solutions.But as most of us feel that is a cyclical problem,I think the
Autocross people get a by on this problem.As you poin out an active racer
creates as many cycles over a race weekend as an autocrosser would put on it
in a year.
I got home from Summit Point & after hearing about John Harkness crash
set about pulling all the axles from the west coast cars we provide tech help
for & found that none of the 10 axles or hubs had any cracks.Two of the cars
have been active campaigners for over 10 years.It remains a n unsolved
mystery.
