The dog boxes are great, but they are not bulletproof, I dropped one right at
turn 1 at Pacific Raceways--peyote wound up with it's front end in the air
plowing the infield with what was left of the gearbox. And don't forget that
you need a good TR6 gearcase to install the set into, and installing it isn't
trivial, though nothing as ugly as building a good stocker CR box.
