First accident with the cobra today

[Lex]

Everything happens so fast when theres no steering. I was in my race car once on pace laps and noticed the line up tape ring at the top of the wheel was off one notch so I pulled the quick release and took the wheel off to re-position it and whalla....the car was all over the place and the feeling of no control was really scary! Lucky I got it back on in the right place before I hit anything. I think the guys behind me thought I had passed out the way the car shot down the bank!

You don't realize the amount of pulling and tugging you do on the steering wheel when under acceleration or in fast turning manuvers. I would not trust a little C-clip to hold the whole thing on. For the sake of your life and the lives of those around you, I would go to this web site and get all the proper stuff.

One of the FFR Challenge racers had the wheel come off in her hands a while back during a race. Hit the wall hard and, needless to say, broke a few bones.

This is the kind of stuff that gives the average layman the belief that kit cars are cheap and dangerous "home made" cars !!!!
