Ah. Except the TR5 incident at Mid-Ohio was not a flip (nor an axle
failure). There was a TR4 (George Wright) that flipped at Mid-Ohio that
had an axle depart. That car had the so-called Chip Bond axle setup which
was a duplicate of the factory axle with modern (new) materials... it was
still the same design as the orignal.
Glad we cleared that up!
