Matt, it was a Pond Aluminum. I need to get a call from the guy that tore it down as to what caused it. I think it had been getting worse over time ... I first saw some white smoke out of the right side in March at San Marcos. Then it just got very serious at Hallett. The corner workers were calling me in for having a tire rubbing ... I was aware of it, but I was burning a lot of oil so I decided I had a bad ring or a hole on #4. I had made up my mind to pull it and send it back after the event. Then it broke ...
