Default first "attempt" at a run

well last night i went to run at the track for the first time. i was running my buddies nittos at 12psi. i did a pretty good burnout and staged the car. i set the rpm at 2500 and when the light turned green i dumped the clutch and heard at WABANGBANGCLATTERCLATTER!! i opened my door and looked under the car and my driveshaft broke off right before the u-joint. it's all good though, my friend is parting out 2 ls1 cars and had a steel driveshaft that we ran and picked up and put on the car before the track closed. just thought i'd share my luck!
