Saturday I put over 200 miles at our PCA track event and then early Sunday morning the driveline snaps coming out of a corner after breaking hard from about 135 MPH.
I have a Quaife LSD, AP Racing 330mm brake kit and was using 225/45/17 R compound road race tires. Perhaps the shock load from breaking with the traction and breaking force I have, especially with the ABS acting at over 120 MPH could stress the axles, because the LSD passes much of that load to the other wheel, wheaas an open differential would not do this in the same situation.
I was using a new pad compound from Porterfield that is much better than their R-4 that I have used previously. The coimpound is labled R ST43.
I recommend it very highly for extreme use.
