[Fot] Summers Brothers Axle Failures?

[Terry Stetler]

Why the surprise?

A Spit 1500 prepped to the very edge of SCCA rules should be able to do that.
Remember a Spit can spin to dizzying (relative to a TR 3~4) rpm.

RPM = BHP. (sorta)

There are 2 liter Honda street cars that pass all federal emmissions laws that
make over 200HP.
