It was street drifting, but it was a closed street. We pooled some cash together and rented the spot. It was a private road owned by a company in Chi-city.
I don't ever condone streeting. It's perfectly unsafe.

And your right about the helmet. This happened another time at the same location. Dude hit his head on the roll bar and got pretty messed up.
This is prime example why you keep it safe and on the track. This guy in the S14 competes in MWC with me and does really well, but if you don't stay safe, bad things will inevitably happen.

And yea this is the second broken knuckle. Seems to be the weak part of the front suspension. Car will be fixed tomarrow though

Perhaps you have your car to low and it puts the front knuckle at an odd tension point?
I've got 40,000+ track miles on my original front knuckles. Almost all of which has been on R Comps, and approx 1000 drift miles on the car and haven't had an issue.

Well the first knuckle was from impact with a wall. The second was impact with a rumble strip after the wheel went in a dip
I haven't had issue other than that
