Re: Lessons about CV axle failure

I took from it that he was already up the hill and saw the guy do this who was halfway up the hill. I'd bet he was too far away to fix the situation.

But yeah, his spotter (if he had one) should've helped him prevent it.
Unless his spotter did not know or was unaware of such consequences. Some spotters get overly enthusiastic once they hear the engine roar. Those are the dangerous ones.

Drivers too can be overly eager or just blow off spotters anyways. Ultimately it is drivers responsibility!

Not saying that is what happened, but just a possibility. Obviously, I was not there! Good lessons on this thread though
