[TR] Broke the GT6+

[TR250Driver at aol.com]

Hey Guys,
For the first time ever at a Triumph Event, a Triumph left me on the side  
of the road when the GT6+ snapped the thrust side U-Joint off the diff 
during  the poker run at the TRF Summer Party. At least I got my 3 runs in on  
the drag strip and autox before she broke.  I am going to tell you all  a 
warning for this looks like a clean break, snapped in half, most likely  
inferior replacement part with less than 2000 miles on it.  Not sure for I  broke 
my NOS Speedometer too.
 
Yikes, always something, Huh?  Anyone else had one fail like  this?  Ok I 
was flogging it a little on the drag strip and autocross  but not that bad 
for all my times sort of sucked.  I heard a bad  clunk from the rear on my 
third drag run launch and a small clunk  developed after the autox whilst 
taking up the drive, but nothing to suggest  that catastrophic failure was 
imminent. 
 
Someone has said the u-joints with grease jerks are weakened by the hole  
drilled right in the center.  Is that a possibility?
 
Woe is Me,
Darrell
