Well, you knew it would happen, Something was gonna break when launching at
3500 rpms with Hoosier, and pulling 1.88 60' times today!! Baawaaa haa ha!!
On my 6th run of the day, pulled it up to the lights, rev'd it to 3200 rpms,
dumped the clutch, WHAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!! I didn't move an inch!!
Instantaneous breakage, at first I'm thinking tranny, so I try another gear,
nothing, no gears work. Now I'm thinking rear end, yep, I broke a 9 1/4 rear
end, OR did I???? My gut feel is I snapped an axle ??? Any clues guys????
I jacked the rear up, and put it in gear, rotated both rear wheels by hand,
and absolutely no driveshaft movement, so I know its either , Spider gears,
ring/pinion, or an axle. If its an axle, shouldn't I be able to pull it out,
Wheel and all, does anything else hold it in other than the C-clip????
It broke so fast, and no forward movement at all, makes me think axle???
Oh, well, the quest for 13's is put off until next year. Today I ran, 14.32,
14.42, 14.40, 14.31, and 14.37. I did run my fastest 1/8 mile ever 9.02 ,
VMP is not a very fast track, I'm usually a tenth slower, or more.
Off to the dealer tomorrow, I'll see what they have to say on Monday.
Oh yea, Scott Miller, I know ;) YOU TOLD ME SO !!! hee heee!
