I Broke Another... racing story

[johncworden at verizon.net (John C. Worden)]

I remember reading about this in a magazine or book MANY years 
ago.  It  mentioned the
Hacker Brothers, who were big into racing Rabbit or Sciroccos in the SCCA(I 
believe) had this
problem quite regularly.  I remember seeing a pic of a stock hub and their 
upgraded, stronger
hub.  I wonder if these guys are still around, or at least if some of these 
hubs are?
