I had to replace the rears...a couple of years ago, but they've seen some use. I ended up cutting a session short because of the noise. I wasn't sure that the nut hadn't backed off and like you said, it would suck to have your wheel beat you to the corner.
I had an off during the event and found a hole in the grass. I bent something under there, haven't had a chance to find out what just yet. I have a whole complete set of front pieces, but either way it might be times to make a run to pull-a-part to grab another spare.
I'll go ahead and replace the other rear hub and check the fronts before I hit Barber's in a month. I might replace them too. If nothing else I'll have a spare. The nice thing about running at Barber's is that it's ten minutes from the house.
This is all on a 91 Si by the way, should have mentioned that.
