Nice, NTN are great bearings (Japanese). More than the HP I think it's the g-forces that we are carrying, especially with the light cars and really sticky tires. Thunderbolt is really super sticky compared to most of the surfaces we run, and coming through that carousel I'm sure you were pulling some g's -- new track surface, highest g-force spot of the track.
Interesting that those studs come with the hub -- the hubs I've been buying have factory style studs which I break pretty quickly. I press them out and put in ARP studs which look exactly the same as the ones on that Federal Mogul unit.
As simple as these hubs are to change (literally 5 minutes???) I think I'm going to start changing them every year. Sounds wasteful I guess but that is about the worst possible kind of failure to have. Once it goes the rest is in the hands of the Track Gods.
I know you're a great driver but not so sure it's possible to drive a car on 3 wheels
