They'll check it when it's laying on track or out from under the car. Then you will get a nice letter and a fine.

Never had any problems with any SFI certified Mopar Flex Plates "UNTIL" I started to two step. We're our own worst enemy. If you two step, the flex plate must become a part of your service routine. Just saying .........

Lil’ Jimmy Hildago was staged when a competitors flexplate broke and attacked his GTO . Pictures are floating around the internet . Thank God young Hildago was not injured

Probably 20 years ago a dragster destroyed one during the burnout at Indy and pieces went over the spectator side stands and one stuck in the side of our trailer. Rare but happens.
