you should come to VIR with NASA-MA in July

 

That is one BMF'n S! What are your wheel specs and do you rub at all?

 

9Ki4: I might VIR is my favorite track (within 5 hours anyway) so I try to get up there when I can.

Wynn: 18x10's and 18x11's and I dont know the offset because I milled them down to fit. I don't rub but my fenders are pulled in the rear to the point of creasing them.

 

awesome track setup you got there very nice

 

front right brake caliper came apart went through my rim, rim exploded took out my fender, headlight, and a rod end from my upper control arm. Found the caliper on track with 1 sheared off bolt and a sheared slider. Hard to tell what happened exactly but I know the bolts were tight. It appears like the outside part of the caliper (with the sliders on it) broke loose and hit the rim.

 

On the plus side the temps were pretty low 4 laps in lol

 

Sorry for your misfortune.

Are you sure it was the caliper that came apart first and not the arm? My upper control arm failed on the left side andcaused similar damage, though the caliper did stay attached to the caliper bracket and the knuckle...

 

yeah the caliper is trashed one of the bolts is sheared off still in it and one of the sliders is sheared off (from what I can tell the slider failed) the control arm is actually still in one piece so I guess thats a pretty good test
