another 10 bolt bites the dust I went to the track the other night and borrowed my buddy's slicks. Needless to say after several 4k launches, (i bog launching lower than 4k), i heard a boom off the line and just took it easy down the track. As soon as I turned, the rear end just locked up on me. Visually, all I can see is a broken axle, and I'm hoping that's the only thing that broke.

haha, same exact thing happened to me. I bogged and bogged trying to be gentle then I decided to go for broke, and yes, I broke! driver side axle snapped in two. I did mine at launch and the car didn't go anywhere. This was during a pinks all-out qualifying run!!!!

That definately sucks. I was still able to go down the track taking it easy, but as soon as i turned the car, the rear locked up on me. My driver's side axle completely snapped in half as well
