[quote=Rich Biebel;134033]I recall the issues with the IRS Corvette rears a little. When Bernie Agamen built his Corvette he was given an ok to use a std solid rear axle. When he showed up at the racetrack the story changed and he had to change it back to the IRS type rear. He broke that thing numerous times as I recall. Now that was a big tire car and a 454 but they were not all that fast back then compared to today's stockers. I was pitted next to Muni Haddad at Maple Grove one year and they were workjing on the rear of their Corvette. I was wrestling with my own issues but on his next run Haddad crashed that car badly and went up and maybe over the guardrail. I heard it was a half shaft failure......I'd be hesitat to race one if it had a BB without using the solid rear...
The half shift broke in the lights............he went a long way on his top......but he was "OK"..........
