Jer Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 They were damned lucky it fell off at 30 mph and not 130! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bill Strong Posted May 30, 2012 Author Administrators Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 yes they were. Of course my first thought was "did my guys torque the wheels on?" and of course I remember Tommy doing that as he was the driver in Biohazard when their wheel flew off at 120mph at Beaver Run. I think I saw him walking around all day with that torque wrench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutlassRacer Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 We do not have a fuel cell, but yes, we finally cured our fueling issues. It only took a bunch of experimenting with baffles, trap doors and the factory siphon valve do draw fuel from the opposite side of the tank. The only problem now is that when it runs out of gas, its OUT with hardly any warning. Before it would fuel starve after every left hand corner for laps until we finally decided to bring it in.
