thankfully, I didn't blow the motor or speedo, and the clutch itself absorbed most of the force - and it was free practice between rounds. but I did feel a bit of a b*ll*nd

where can I get more wheel nuts from? luckily the marshall found the nut not far from where the wheel came off.

on another note - isn't GT85 amazing? cleaned off all the dust and left the wishbones looking like new.
I got so lucky and have not broke anything in 2 months.
Yet I have put on new shock towers on the front and rear, because after
5-6 months of hard racing parts just start to fall apart.
I run the GTB 6.5 lite, but I used to run a 7.5R
