The Broken Rearend Issue

[sfw1960]

More RWR info in Q4 from Jon O after Clay won the 2 Fast 2 Tasty final. He said Steve Chrisman figured out what the problem was and it was their fault and not Steve's.

Do tell!

Do tell!

Probably as far as it will go unless Clay spills the beans on his youtube channel. A relief to everyone in the class that it's not a bunch of defective parts.

Well if it was due to improperly setting up the gears or something it would be nice to know what not to do. Unless they were trying something for a performance advantage.

Everyone who runs the Chrisman rear knows exactly what to look out for. There's zero reason to keep that secret.

In Clay's video he said that they changed anything they could along with a different chassis that Tony used last season with a new clutch can, and a new rear end this weekend just in case (not taking any chances).

will the problem that caused the rwr rear end failures become known to us simpletons?

Yes, you Insider types - please clue us in. Many of us are interested in this type of thing, just to keep up on what is going on.

 

[none]

I would think Clay will explain it at some point. A performance advantage you guard like gold, but a safety or mechanical issue is widely shared.

Everyone knows that it might be the car in front of them next time. And nobody wants that.

Just saw on instagram; that Jasmine broke the rear end in first round of eliminations.

I believe hers are Strange rear ends.

That picture appears to show that this time, it self-destructed internally, whereas with the Pomona ones - didn't the external case break apart?

Man, that thing is SHREDDED. Unreal. Looks expensive and painful both.

 

[Paul]

At least it was contained and didn't result in a +2hr delay.

Those are the days you're thankful the engine- and the pumpkin- are not between your legs!

Thanks, Big

Mr. Larry- I've always wanted to take a pass in a FED, but I've never sat in one that was my size before. The ones I HAVE been in were so tight (6'1", over 210#) that the idea of being able to get out in a hurry seemed to be impossible. Been in enough floppers to know I'd rather deal with that exit strategy

You have no idea how fast to can move when you go from a driver to the wick.

I think that is a very relevent thought about what you can do when you have too

Yeah I still can't figure out how these drivers with full safety equipment on can exit a flopper with the body down.
