Like rocks in a rock crusher?

That is what I experienced with Grover's car at my last SCCA
school.  Interestingly enough we thought it was the brake pads crumbling so
we ran the car for a couple hours in an enduro with no troubles.  At
Grover's next event he experienced the same sensation.  it was cured by a
new halfshaft from Raxles.
