Mostly that, but I have seen a few studs break. Not many and not from a stock engine.

Thanks, J

Only one way to find out! Seiriously though.........you may walk away without a scratch, but the reality is, if you're going to the track the right way, you stand a good chance something may break! "Rubbins' racin'!" Here's what happened my last time at the track (on street tires, mind you!)

Yup they always break there or at the CV joints. My friends done it so many times. On slicks especially launch high or axles are goin to start snappin. Have fun!
