Nasty launch kills Rear...

The ol 400ci motor is making some power... Enough to destroy my 12 bolt. I broke the ring and pinion , here is a small video of the launch.

Time for a Dana 60 with some pro gears and a full floater. With the parachute on the back I can only assume that you're going to hit 150 mph soon.

What was your setup that got you to a 10.03 et? I am looking to build a 350 with a s trim that will run 10.0s. Any help would be great.

Good to see you pull out of the groove when it banged.

In 8 oil-downs in the last 3 days of racing here, not a single one pulled out of the groove. I've never had cause to do it, but I can imagine it isn't the first thing on your mind when the need arises.
