I'm gonna tell Mr. Hessel what you have done to his car (not that there's anything wrong with that). He'll be proud...

Back to back 40 min. sessions @ LRP turned that grease to water.
Messy but thankfully no danger.
Tire temps were the challenge of the day for me....

It's been along time since I have seen that. Must have been very hot that day.

Maybe time to do the RSR axle cooler.....

The plan is turbo axles, Krytox and I'll certainly look into the joint cooler, should have done that a long time ago

With no huge failures and no real damage, this is a badge of honor pushing machine to its limit's, perhaps a tad beyond

Bill,

That's a lot of grease coming out. Take them apart right away and replace the grease on both ends of each shaft. Parts cleaner bath or 3 rolls of papers towels and 3 cans of brake clean. Rubber gloves a must.
