How a Cal-track works

I understand that the CE "Slide A Link" does not use a connected lower bar, rather one tube slips inside the other, is that true? Several years ago, a semi local racer was badly hurt, and his car destroyed, when it broke a leaf spring, and the SlideALink bar pulled apart, causing the car to crash, and flip over. He had been running this same 1965 Mercury Comet since 1967 (His brother bought it new). Luckily, his 70+ year old body healed, and with help from some generous friends, his "new" 65 Comet is nicer and faster, (9.7ETs, with a stick, all motor SB Ford, and he drives it to the track!
