Russ Did you note the suspension failures on the V8s.After Lowndes hit the wall and broke the watts linkage they showed the link, broken tube with rose joints intact.They also showed a front steering arm from another car and failed tube again rose joints intact.I think your right, make your uprights strong and let the wishbones/links be the sacrificial part as in most open wheelers as well.I did enjoy your description of how niceties of design go out the window if you bury it in the wall.Very well said.
Even though he's a Kiwi Murph in my mind was to blame.Ambrose had 1/2 his car in front and Murph should have baled out of it.But I sense he was angry after a pass and touch up from Ambrose a moment before, did anyone see that?Now a much better result would have been Jason Richards 1st, I love it when the underdog wins.Bloody Skaife didn't need another one.Go Webber that result will keep you in Frank's good books.Like me he needs a bit more grunt.
I've got one more race meeting this year at Sandown on Cup Day 1st November, lets hope it rains again.
