Re: Cooters Goat
Made in China probable......could be just about any brand other than a few....
It's happened before in various cars. Very fortunate no one was injured. That could have been really bad...

Re: Cooters Goat
Does anyone know if the car that had the part come apart was inspected by NHRA for SFI Certification? At this time that we race under SFI that anything like this incident would happen.

Even if they did it's a moot point because the Made in China stuff gets stickered just like all the rest.... You can buy a GM SFI stickered flexplate from many sources for as little as $50 for GM engines.....I could just about guarantee you those wheels are made in China or offshore somewhere... I'm sick of seeing it and dealing with the consequences.....

Re: Cooters Goat
Somewhere out there on UTube is a video of Dan Cyr's A/SA Camaro exploding the transmission in the water box at the Mission divisional a few years ago. It went through the floor and the windshield and absolutely disintegrated the entire trans. As an interesting sidenote, in what was an epic thrash, everyone chipped in and he didn't miss the race. The floor got reconstructed out a chunk of one of the 55 gallon trash barrels, a local glass shop drove out to the track and replaced the windshield and a bunch of under dash wiring got spliced back together. Not perfect but a pretty impressive team effort on a very short timeline.
