What would cause my barely used green bearing to do this?

No dude, you’re the one who claimed you can’t go around a corner on a green bearing. I haven’t been to a drag strip in nearly 20 years. So go blow your own horn.

It’s amazing that YOU cant do something so no one else can do it either. It’s the same phenomenon that says you can’t use more than 9:1 compression on pump gas. Just ridiculous. I don’t know how many circle track cars I tuned, but it was over a dozen and every one of those used a ball bearing on the axle. Not one used a tapered bearing.

Unreal.

I knew right where you were goin "with that". LOL
