That stinks. As you say, $300 is not the amount of money most people would spend on some thing considered "disposable". I've stuck with Tilton because their starters are as close as I've ever gotten to a "install it and forget about it" piece. I carry a rebuilt Tilton as a spare, but have never actually experienced an "at the track" failure. At the beginning of each season, I send in the old one and install the spare.
