OUR TEST SESSION ENDED BAD. REAR WHEEL BROKE OFF OF THE CAR

[@publicenemyracingrickgriff2072]

I would like to add as well that Cory , Justin and his boys were at the track for 7 hours thrashing, I went to pay Cory for a great day and he would not accept a penny....that is a stand up guy for sure he has earned my respect even more

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

That is so cool! Glad you're ok man. Sorry for your car! I have seen only one other wheel break before but on the big end and the end result was much, much worse.

[@BB-rn6so]

I see what happened. That's the side Justin was working on now Justin blaming the wheel. Justin broke the wheel 😂 Just playing ya J. Big C putting the power to it

[@BB-rn6so]

It's a good thing that wheel didn't break on The Big End. Running 170

[@lilkuntry7849]

Looks like the same thing that happened to Brian(Chucky)Davis..

[@RustyWells2]

I didn't think he would you know what that means you need to get that car back together and back out there and then Big Country will have it running 4 or 5 numbers faster than this! Hell yeah!🦅🇺🇸🦅

[@chrisschriver6964]

I think it's badass that Richard even with his disability of being deaf still pursuing the love and passion of racing and getting in there and working with them. he may not be able to hear what's going on, but he's still in there doing it. I got nothing but respect for him not letting his disability hold him back from something that he loves and enjoys. Also for the team for allowing him to have that opportunity most people wouldn't want him working on their car because they may question what if he forgot something because he didn't see something pointed out to him and he misses it. so I think it's badass that Richard's getting to do what he loves and I think it's badass for this race team for letting him do what he loves.. I just wanted to point that out. I know personally, I would do my damnedest to not let a disability hold me back from doing what I love. So do your thing Richard keep doing what you love.

[@RustyWells2]

Well if it's good enough for Him Head it's good enough for The Jester!🦅🇺🇸🦅

May not actually be a disability due to the fact that im sure his other senses are most likely way more keen than average do to heavily relying on them.. Your comment was well put and on the positive side of everything , Just wanted to add that thought to it, in that most guys are wearing ear protection all the time only at the track, this man may end up being the salvation of future success..

Here's a thought about the guys adjusting the wheelie bars and the one pulling the car up to the beams, have an oversized pair of golf, football, baseball shoes with 'steel' spikes/cleats with the backs cut away ready so you can slip yer shoes inside. No more loosing a shoe in the track prep! A PITA to carry them to the starting line? Yep,, so is having your shoe/s ripped off yer feet and stepping into the sticky in your stocking feet. Just a thought FWIW.

[@parentsbasement7734]

Hey Justin or big country, is there a recommended number of passes a wheel is "good" for before ya throw them out.

[@billallen4793]

A wheel should last a lifetime, unless you hit something. This is a manufacturing fault. By making the wheel so light you sacrifice strength. And S.F.I. certified part's on a car this fast are a MUST HAVE.... in part's like this having them X-rayed annually is a good choice, it's what I do on my drag boat prop. And tireshake can cause crazy vibrations and loads on the wheel centers ALSO ....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe

As others have said, since it was destined to break it was good it did it at the starting line instead of at the finish line.
