Mechanically =E2=80=93 The VintageSport Council has a site for Mechanical F=
ailures that they collect information oncritical mechanical failures that w=
e should all be familiar with so we canavoid then through knowledge.=C2=A0 =
I havecollected some of the minimal information they have on their site and=
 havestarted compiling a list of critical safety failures that we should be=
 aware ofand looking out for. =C2=A0One of those areas thatare critical are=
 front spindles.=C2=A0 Ourcars were not designed to see the lateral loads t=
hat they were designedfor.=C2=A0 Observing some GoPro G loads from YouTubeV=
ideos of SMRS racing we can get up to 1.3 G lateral loads with Spridgets.=
=C2=A0 It is recommended that you take the time toverify the integrity of y=
our front spindles by magnafluxing for cracksroutinely (some suggest evey 2=
 years).=C2=A0Many of us have steel spindle replacing the original forgedsp=
indles.=C2=A0 Typically if spindles fail itis under high loads in a turn.=
=C2=A0 Don Kellyexperience his failure at the upper part of his king pin at=
 the counter stepthreaded area, which is also obviously a high stress area.=
=C2=A0 His failure resulted in his right front kingpin breaking loose and m=
oved the tire into the wheel well flat spotting histire.=C2=A0 This did not=
 result in a catastrophicaccident luckily, but could have been worse.

Brat Lunches =E2=80=93 We have traditionally done an excellent jobin this a=
