Now for the warning and some questions:
WARNING: This break cost me a pulverized wrist on turn 3 at Summit Point. The best we can figure, when the wishbone broke, the driver's side rear tire got jammed forward into the wheel well and froze. The car slid off the track, into a berm and flipped over. My instructor was miraculously unhurt - except for a sore knee for a couple of days - and I received no other injuries. Alas, my second surgery is scheduled for tomorrow
Questions:
1) Why did this break? Is 412 RWHP too much for this wishbone? It was a stock, unmodified 3.8S unit.
2) How can I prevent this when the car is repaired? Is there a better/stronger wishbone available?
Oh, and do yourself a favor - get some arm restraints for your track time!
