Unhappy front A-arm sheared off?

Well, I finally made it to a rally event and the car was running great, when,,,,, all of a sudden, my front A-arm sheared off on the lower connection point.not a comforting soud to hear the front end dragging on the ground.....sounded like a freight train.

It sheared off at the bracket, as I was braking heavy into a left turn ( the right arm broke)? I was at around 45-50 mph....

Has this happened to anyone and what have you done to keep the suspension solid for road racing....
THis track was actually on an airport, the surface was cement and very grippy!....

Floor it! with RaceDeck
