Drove it there on street tires and trailered it home on slicks....
I told myself this is a street car. It will drive there and the only way it wasn't driving home was if it broke. Oh well. Sorry the vids are kinda dark. I forgot to turn on the back lighting on the camera.

I have not really even looked at it. When I was under the car at the track last night, the axles looked fine. I will pull it this week and see.

The slicks were brand new and over 16 psi of pressure in them. The tranny felt fine after that. It was not until the launch that sheit hit the fan. I agree, dry hopping it very bad, but the trans didn't break at that point.

I seen a man get shot in the face one time.. He didnt die right way, but just suffered in the hospial till he withered away an died 4 hours later. Imagine gettin shot i the face again after that (liek your tranny) and expecting to live

I forgot that you know everything Ron and I understand your concept. But he was bleeding everywhere and felt like poop.

That's a better answer. It is possible that is what killed the trans/drivetrain.

I agree man. That was my first time on 26s. I still need to pull it to find out what failed.
On the street tire note, I think with some good drag radials and staying on the throttle next time I will be hunting down that fastestfwdstreet record.

Can someone tell me what is 'dry hopped' Look as though dumping the clutch with 26" is most prob gonna kill any tranny. or axle.

if you read his post on that it was, NEXT TIME he wasnt sayin the 11.5 he was saying next time when he has newer drag radials and stays on the throttle the whole time instead of letting off.
