I do not expect parts to break during the normal taps that anybody fast enough to make the top 10 at a big race is going to encounter. And that's the issue here. Cars can't break on taps. It's simply unforgivable.

If you're not close enough to the boards to tap now and then, they're you're probably some mixer that doesn't really compete at a high level. And that's fine. But please don't presume to understand what those of us trying to get it done at the highest level (outside of paid pro drivers) are trying to accomplish.
Dude, everyone dropped that already. You are the one who keeps bringing it up.

Staying on topic; do you use the metal outdrives with no blades (V5 outdrives)? Maybe running the plastic outdrives (even though they tend to notch) might help dissipate some of the impact? It might be enough to keep you in the race. Worth a shot, no?
