Starting off of a clockwise PTO shaft that has LH threads:
Yup, it's true, every once in a blue moon the whole nut and SHCS come zipping off, and you have to dodge the other karts on the grid as you sprint back to your pit for the wrenches.
In my case, starting off of the FW would require a really, really long shaft, a CCW starter and then I'd have to trust the volunteer on the grid to not dent my chrome Chilton tank.
I also worried about snapping the little 3/8" threaded end off of my Mac crank, but so far it hasn't happened. I heard someone say that a gear reduction starter would be more likely to do that, and I'd guess that's true.
So Jim W, is it true that you paid for the roof on your house and a trip to Hawaii selling those hex tips? Lol
