Help: Stumped about brake behavior on track

[parsonsj]

Well, that'll explain it: both wheel bearings are worn out. On the right side, the wheel had 1/4" movement at the rim, and the left side almost as much.

When I put the car together, I wasn't willing to pay $750 for a pair of bearings ... and I found these at 1/3 of the price. On eBay.



I'll bet I bought some painted previously failed bearings. I guess one gets what one pays for.

Now where is Frank and his Chevy account?
