Have the hardened hubs with new bearings when I built the car. How many races typically before it is a good idea to replace?

A lot depends on the track configuration, since the side loads from heavy cornering will cause the cracks that are so problematic with the hubs.

But with most of the guys that are using my hardened hubs and new bearings they are getting 3-4 seasons out of them. Personally I changed my bearings (not hubs) after two seasons which included multiple 12 hour and shorter enduro events.
