we use Krytox in all of our axles. We are a retailer as well.

Thanks, I got through the weekend with the Black Axles, just the ABS ice pedal issue that caused me some excitement during the race.

I now have a good used set of Blue Axles to install on the car and the remaining Blue axle will be my spare.

Good fun running with you at Miller, the Colorado crew is always fast in both HPDE and Race groups.

Cheers

nearly identical to my near crash at WGI when the same LR broke on the (fortunately) slowish uphill right-hander...........
all that counter steering is impressive

Wow, that was ugly. Mine broke just after turn one at MMP and the acted like I went into neutral, I coasted to a stop near the flag station and got to a place that wouldn't bring out a yellow.
I thought the clutch packed it in, there was no noise and no excitement like poor guy in FLA996 Video.
