Today I broke the rear hub today and lost a wheel! A little too much excitement.

I got it mended by a skilled man who is in our Indy Region scca. He was amazing! Welded it back together starting with six pieces.

and then for the finale brazed the broken brake rotor together. He did advise me to get new pieces for long term. The brake rotor definately but the hub looks stronger than the part must have looked when new!

Tomorrow is our divisional two day event. Then last day of August and the following three days I will be going to the national event to test my progress against the best in the country.
