Cracked Oil Pan--Fatigue
Guys,
The oil pan on my car cracked and finished my track day early
I wanted to show you guys how a weld can fail in "fatigue." Fortunately, someone noticed oil was POURING out from under my car after I had just gone out and only taken one lap. I pulled into the pits (leaving a trail) and figured a line must have come loose. When I jacked up my car I realized track day was over.
