^^ Interesting that he just had the bearing replaced. I'd suspect the work the shop did.

Yeah the Porsches use a plastic snap-in rad hose. We had one 3 weeks ago pop off on saturday at pocono and then 2 days later at Watkins the same car popped it off. Of course the guy was running down the straight ins 2nd gear at redline, which didn't help matters... (The car was being shipped out in a container for 2x the new price of the car, so the guy didn't care if he killed the car)

Most tracks I have been to discourage you from even running on the track with centercaps on.

Well you guys were lucky to have looked down and caught that before he went back out. That wouldn't have been pretty at all.
