Re: Just finished my first endurance race in a 1g DSM!

I think you've got the wrong guy, Aaron.

Steve: hard to say, the wheels are all banged up but looks like a more instant catastrophic failure than slow grinding of the wheel. The two halves were jammed in there so hard I had to hammer them out.

I'm thinking it is more a function of past abuse than side effects from our car. Thinking it was on a car with excessively high EGTs, which baked the wheel to a point of being very brittle, and the racing stresses were a bit more than it could handle. I really hate having to use old questionable parts, seems to always leave you guessing.
