Default Re: Ken Etter injured in an accident at Fontana

My '97 Firebird Stocker had a brace from the M/C to the shock tower. I assumed this was to prevent the M/C from moving due to a somewhat flexible firewall and staging and racing off the footbrake. If the firewalls are moving it might be part of the problem. You have to really take a look up in there to see what could cause a problem.

I have even looked at my dragsters footbrake setup. I had to move the pedals and make a new rod. I check my rotors and calipers every race visually when I clean the car.........especially the rotors and caliper mounting bolts and they are safety wired.....
