Note - these tires are insanely sticky. I pick up 1/2 pound of gravel 
driving around the paddock on each tire when they are warm/hot.

So we could be just seeing a combo of very high CoF and higher than usual 
bending moments... it's possible the ding on the driver's side was a piece 
of the casting breaking away, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
