Definitely cold beers in the racer ice chest. No spillage before the fixing began.

I think the bends kept the axle centered when the racer drove back to town 17 miles, track bar hanging.

No injuries. Bronco actually drove out of the boulders and back to town after a tire change. Chase truck met them coming down the course but it was doing ok by itself so we just let them drive it.

Glad to hear everyone was OK! Did it stuff the tires into the back of the wheel wells? Reminds me of a common problem with Mini-bikes, They call them "High Speed Forks"
