Looks like something to stay diligent with on the maintenance list.

Hopefully 2SSRS will get back to you shortly with some more details about the track fire.

You're welcome on both counts. I felt obligated to report this finding as I would hope that others would report similar findings.

Sending any high performance car down a track at 3-digit speeds is akin to flying airplanes, from a maintenance perspective. There's a lot of vibration, heat, and torsional stress. It's important to inspect and test regularly. I do this before every track day. Nothing beats a hands-on visual inspection.

Well, you're still here so I guess there's no leaks, huh?

Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. I'll feel better when the word gets out and everyone starts checking and fixing this.
