Though, I guess during a crash, where one wheel hits the ground....OK...maybe that makes sense...but normally once I see my truck is cartwheeling, I let go of the throttle....
At "our" track, at the end of the front straight there is a bermed (pretty steep) right hand 180* corner. There's alos a smallish roller right before the berm.

My truck was coming off the straight and hitting the roller then the berm. The problem was the truck would hit the berm pretty fast and with all the weight and force on the left front wheel, surely compressing it fully and causing the cva to get clipped by the groove in outdrive.

I added about 4-5mm of fuel tubing to counter this.
