Lotta centrifugal force at that speed... Oh, BTW the one car I was riding in when it lost a fan blade at 80mph the fan blade exited the RF inner fender & cut through the tire... Driver skill keep things from getting very ugly that day... I like the great hole they make coming out Fiberglass hoods, kinda like a large toaster [img]https://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee87/fast340six/sig%20pics/2840886-340SIX-1.jpg[/img] VP of the MPM in New Orleans 73 Dart Sport 340/ 70 challenger vert.
