I run steel lines up to the cooler then rubber to connect to cooler with dubble clamps I think yearly to be on the safe side or if you notice the rubber getting hard.

That is what was on my car.I think it was just some kind of a freak deal.This was the 4th yr on the car.Car is never outside or anything.It was wheel standind pretty hard all night.The hardest it came down was on the pass I wrecked it. I always run this car hard so it is on the lift and checked often.I just about have it ready to to the frame machine,I was carefull when I took it apart looking for answers but I have found none.
I've replayed that wreck in my head and on tape a thousand times. If I come up with anything ya'll will be the first to know.

I will be the first to say no matter how safe and how many precautions you put in a car, shit happens, parts fail. My wallet can tell you that as we speak since I am in the middle of the rebuild.

Good luck!

Thanks for all of the replies. I guess It would be a good idea to start me a check list to go over before and after I get to the track.
Thanks
