Reply to "Cv conversion"

At 20 hrs into the Daytona 24 hr race run yesterday, Corvette lost one car out of the pair (then running 1-2 in class) in the event due to a seized CV joint. One graphic shot showed the affected (brand-new) half-shaft laying on the Daytona garage floor, smoke from burning and boiling grease still coming off, as the mechanics swapped another new axle in place. Lost two laps doing the work.

And speaking of fixing things, the new Ford GT lost BOTH their cars in class at only about 4 hrs into the event, due NOT to engine, halfshafts or transaxle problems, but to seized paddle-shift actuators, after running as high as 3rd overall. Not being able to shift left their manual 6-speeds locked in high gear. The two Ford GTs eventually regained 6th and 10th places in GTLM after being repaired, many laps down. LeMans is coming up for both the 'Vettes and the Ford GTs....
