We are planning to bring our $2012 GRM Challenge TR8. Time to test some home made parts. (I'm letting Tod drive it first.)

That's what I was thinking... but then it dawned on me that too much is never enough, so it must be simply "not enough bracket". :thumbwink:

Bottoming out much? That's some serious stress! Looks like a caliper bolt is backing out on you too...

Im begining to think its from all the uneven drive ins / sidewalks where one of the rear wheels will be in the air when pulling in, its the only time where there is a lot of stress on these mounts.

The bolt your looking at is the bleeder :headscratch:

If there's another late dropout I'd like the spot. I finally have new wheels and tires for the SVT. All I need now is a battery hold-down and I'm good to go! :grin:

Yeah, that one went from cancelled to filled in an hour and six minutes... before I even knew about it! Somebody was watching for it.

I'm glad to see no one is concerned about the course map this month because the joker making it just finished last night. Loren should have it cleaned up in a few days. But I'll give you all a sneak peak, enjoy! ;-)
