A KING OF A RIDE
Mon, 2007-04-16 09:39
Chip King had a tough go of things during a Friday's test and tune run at the Montgomery ADRL event. According the King, the car started
to haze the tires but then it hooked violently. Normally, he said, this
would be a good thing. King then explained that a heim joint broke
causing the tire to grab the main tube in front of it and caused it to
break. The computers and shock timers were on top of the bar. The tire then
grabbed the electrical cables and sent parts through the windshield and
the tubs. King added the incident also broke the master cylinder.
Fortunately for King, he has a second car which will be pressed into
action next weekend in Rockingham, NC.
