Re: Another new way to lose a round!
Great recovery ! Glad you got down the track safely. Drove a friends bracket car with a removable wheel. Was always in the back of head --What If ?

Re: Another new way to lose a round!
Had a simular round in 2004 at the Bracket finals in Atlanta... Made the pass and went to turn left off the track and the steering wheel turned but the tires didn't turn... After about three or four revolutions the wheels truned enough to get off the track.. The tabs holding the rack had broken and the rack was turing not the steering... Had a welder there and he welded it back up... Next pass the exact same thing... The so called welder came back and wanted to re-do his work.. I put the car in the trailer without a scratch and headed home... And glad to be doing that.... I totally understand your position.....

I just can't believe he kept his foot in it when the wheel came off!

Re: Another new way to lose a round!
The only thing worse than that is having the steering come off,and the master cylinder push rod fall out on the same run!!!!!
