Yeah, but even a layman like me spotted that one.

I'm sure reliability will improve--though I'd have thought at least a FEW of the guys last weekend would be doing the "fixes". I don't know either way, so I can't make any representations.

Funny you mention T-bars--one of the cars was a T-bar car (not sure which one) fitted with the Gen-X front end. Managed to break both a lower arm AND the T-bar in the same wreck. THAT'S a wreck. Nicked the inside barrier which threw him hard to the outside barrier. Deflected off that into the path of a VERY fast car that then drilled it. Even managed to shut down the power.

My mod car had become undriveable in the B3. Looked at it this evening--the chassis was delaminated under the battery o-ring anchor clear back to the stand-off to the cross brace/tweak bridge. Ouch. I'd been meaning to install that ABP chassis... just hadn't planned to ruin the original chassis
