GONZO RACING #551 San Felipe 250 post race report

That must be the reason and Morelia is pretty much a must pit for any 5 1600 or fueling at rm 97 or 105. That team is like 40 strong, always fix the car and keep on running.
ill try and find out what broke.

It also looks like the co-driver's door is bashed in pretty well, maybe they hit something on that side that sheared the grub screws?

Yeah, those are the ones! The aftermarket grub screws don't hold up, we use stock VW grub screws - had to look through lots of "junk" hardware to find spares for our car! I wonder which broke first, the link pin or the grub screws? I can see it happening either way.
