Paging Dr. Evil..........
Anybody know how to contact EvilWerks?
Heard he cross drills sets of the hardened axle shaft bolt heads for safety wire.
I had an axle shaft come off right out of grid this weekend at PIR. At least it let go at low speed while scrubbing tires, but still crushed my left side header beyond repair.
Re-Torque your bolts often, guys & gals!!

He spends a lot of time at www.914world.com - look for him there.
If you are patient and have a drill press you you can drill the bolt heads yourself. Use a "vee block" - you set the vee block up so your drill bit is ligned up with the bottom of the "V"... Then, when you raise the drill bit up and put your cylindrical part in the "V", the bit will be right at the top and it will drill a hole that goes right through the diameter.
And, yes - if they're not safety wired, checking the torque should be part of your pre-race tech.
