Paul drove back from Boston today, and will be in the office Tuesday afternoon. I'll talk to him about this problem. I'll also check my YoungChazz@gmail to see if you've sent something.

We'll see if there is anything we can figure out.

Dan has the history correct. The first nose pieces were somewhat fragile. Good thing they were nose pieces instead of the whole chassis. We fixed that on the second run and they are fine now.

There were a few pieces of an older run of graphite Squared chassies that broke in the nose, but we changed some things in the next run and they have been good.

Remember that we are racing. Building the car as light as possible and going as fast as possible. Neither of those things is usually good for durability. In some cases weight is added to the already light front end, which ups the stress.
