Rear axle blanket/diaper required on all TF starting at Charlotte? (10 Viewers)
- Thread starter LoPony
- Start date
I was there Saturday and sitting around 2 hours because that sticky fluid got all over the track sucked. I’m glad they are making them add protection to prevent/mitigate that. I’m sure Tony Sch didn’t want to destroy the track and im Not upset with RWR in any way, but adding parts to prevent this (reduce the chances) is welcomed.

Based on nothing, but my observation is this.
No Chrisman failures before, then two on the same car in two runs.
I would be looking very closely at the chassis. Something weak? Cracked? Flexing under load?
The fabricator in me tells me that back to back failures of a part that has never failed before happening on one car just might be the car.

Was it Millican or who that had the other failure? I thought blankets were mandatory after that? Alan brings up a good point. Something else could very well be an issue though if both rears were built at the same time with parts that may have been compromised that could also be something. Sure hope they can actually point to something that contributed to the failures after all this. Talk about frustrating....and expensive!

absolutely logical train of thought. clay's car had a pinion snout (chrisman) break about 3 summers ago,
but it was not a new unit, it had many runs on it. i think at sonoma?
i believe tony is currently driving the chassis clay had last year. not sure status of clay's current chassis
