Now I'll have to figure out what to do, call Bogart, and luckily I'm not in any hurry to the track. Check out the ugly pics. I got some posting to do on some other sites. Anyone every heard of this happening

They say that there track only wheels. I have seen several of these wheels break while on the street, but never have seen one break at the track. I guess there not made to go over any kind of bumps just straight down the track. Welds are a WHOLE LOT stronger.

I wouldnt go as far as to call them "weak". My buddies been running them on his Lightning for awhile and they've handled his 4000+lb weight, so I doubt they're THAT weak.
No matter what the problem ends up being that just sucks!

they make the road race wheels which are alot stronger, ive seen that happen more on mustangs for some reason, ive seen plenty people drive on them without them messing up like that, bogart will definitely take care of that though
