Re: Axle or Drum Leak?
We didn't replace the large washer behind the bearing: we found the large O ring to be ripped, and the paper gasked to be really worn down, so we just replaced the seals and not the washer. It hasn' t leaked yet.
Thanks Matt for helping me out, and everyone else for their diagnosis and tips,

Axle or Drum Leak?
Hey everyone, My car was recently put together and gone through, and last weekend after coming off track, I noticed oil on the bottom of my tire, and there was a trail coming from the axle or drum down to the ground/tire. Is this gear oil somehow getting down the tube from the transmission? I don't ...

wow, 1.31.6 nice! no wonder I couldn't catch you Saturday! I think I'll be able to get down in the high 20's, low 30's, the car should be able to, if I can get more than one lap in at a time! I'll be sleeping in my trailer too.

Re: Possible way to reach out to a younger audience
Yeah, because all I did was crash my way through karts, and still was able to finish out of top 3 once in 3 years, so my dad wants me to risk the FV drivers safety and cars, not his friends. Nope, that's not it at all. He wants me to drive it this year, but he just got brand new shocks, diffuser,eng...

Re: Possible way to reach out to a younger audience
In regards to the Vee being a stepping stone to your learning curve.. It certainly is. You will learn a lot. However, as far as it getting you the kind of exposure you need to get to pro levels (if that is your goal), Vee is a waste of time. You will need lots of money and exposure in a winged clas...

Re: HANS vs. DEFENDER
Good thing I bought my Defender before the lawsuit! I could not feel it at all in the car by the way, felt good, and comfortable. The design does seem to mirror HANS, but made out of different material, and uses the green siding for protection so you don't strain your neck in side impacts.

Wow,
My father had a similar crash like that in his Continental (locked wheels with a FF down chute), but cartwheeled accross the tire walls.
my thoughts and prayers go out to Harry's recovery, and may it be quick.
