First run was a bogged launch, and my second run was an 11.68 @ 100 something MPH... third run was this:

This is what you get for dumping an ACT 6 puck at 6000 RPM with brand-new Kumho drag radials on freshly-laid VHT.

All in all a fun weekend!

Heh, thanks bud... I would have had it ready for the eliminations, but the center differential was trashed as well as the t-case and driveshaft. Made for a slow ride home. There's always next year!

glad to see you made it home. That was a pretty ugly explosion of parts. I thought I was gonna have some shrapnel.

 

[BreathinHeavy]

sure was glad to hear so far that everyone has made the trip home ok

 

[solomontomb]

wow! glad you made it home

sorry about the trashed drivetrain!!

i know the tow truck companies MUST look forward every year to the SO. High powered cars coupled with weak sauce transmissions....its a tow truck paradise...

looked fun though!

Got the center differential out today... both spider gears were shattered, and the cross shaft itself was broken in two. Awesome!

Luckily im only an hour and a half from TRE, and Ill be heading down there early tomorrow to get myself a spool. No more broken diffs for this man... and if im quick, ill get it back together in time to go to Milan Dragway on Wednesday!
