Listers, Just returned from the CSRG race at Sears Point. Thought some might be interested to learn that I broke a front stub axle. Wheel fell off on the cool-down lap. No damage to driver but some body damage from the wheel passing by. The axle was crack-checked 8 years ago. Not a weakness on big Healeys that I was aware of. Will crack-check the axles on a more regular basis hereafter. Gary K. Black HEXAGON TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS, INC. 40 S.
